I watched video....wind speed in ocean..to ride that powered and move that fast..11 knots of power
I watched video...wind speed in sound..to ride that powered and spray that much..11 knots of power
I say of power because where you kite the wind and water as an efficiency rating of 100..the best
So you see like 2 politicians debating we will never agree on numbers..so why bother meeting !
There was no single digit wind speed there..it is more than 9 knots in both videos (except SUP 6kn)
Everyone who has not been to Cape Hatteras should Google map it and check it out
They would learn that the wind from nearly every directions has a fetch of 20 to 50 miles
The flat water in the sound is not like a fresh water lake..actually it is as dense as ocean near shore
Using the sea oats is wind speed indicator....5-6 max..does not reflect the actual wind up there
About the downwinder ocean session in Fullsuit late in the day with Northerly side side on wind
The wind was not 6 or 7 or 8 or 9kn average.....it was double digit the whole time
Do not trust your smartphone readings on Cape Hatteras narrow strip barrier island..in LW
Do not buy any other kite before trying an Infinity in my local water...you will be blown away for sure
But as you go home to your lakes or other locations remember my water/wind rating is 100
The highest rating possible.....realistically expect with your rating of 85..needing 15% more wind
Hatteras is the most advanced laboratory location on earth for LW efficiency
I challenged anyone to show me that their spot is better than that ....to make those types of videos
