Hi there!
I've used to be an Airush addict, started kiting on snow with a lithum, then bought Sector 52, bought One 15m, bought another lithium 12 from current year, sold the One and currently have only the 12 lithium. I only ride my sector 52 and I don't ride any twintips, I ride in very gusty winds, 8-18 knots is not unusual. Last time went out and bolted some surf fins on my sector, did not hate the experience but could not go upwind at all when the wind approched 20 knts, I was still on my 12 lithium. So that made me think to change my quiver.
I currently think of ozone edge, either 15m or 11m and even 9 for stronger winds. I know that sector can go in light winds with small kite, but that applies to the 60cm sector I believe, and not the 52.
What I figured so far is that I need a kite with a fast forward speed, lightwind abilities and good upwind drive. All of that seem not to be the qualites of the overhyped lithium 12m 2012. But more like Ozone edge or something.
I would greatly appreciate any inputs on what should I do with my quiver. So far my almost brand new lithium is for sale...
Thanks!
