Hi Telekiter,Telekiter wrote:Nice input there guys, realy helpfull.
Since I do alreadey have both the Mako 150 (TT) and the Mako King (Have no plans to sell either!!) I don´t have to choose, realy . My Q was mainly how a Sector would compare to the Mako King if/when I get into some small waves and chop. I do agree that the King is simply unbeatable in chop
My plan (btw I´m 90 kg) is to get the Sector 60 v3 (or v2 or One design) for cruising/racing/slalom in wind of 9-12/14 knots using either my Blade Fat Lady or my Switch Element 13. In those winds we dont have much chop, well, very little anyway. I will also get the extra fin to ride the 60 3 fin thruster and use that together with a single back strap if I get some descent swell.
However I´m not fully set on the Sector. There are others like the RRD freerace and now the BEST Kiola is coming out. I´m sure both Cabrinha, Naish and North have there eyes wide open to following the developement of this "genre".
I have, with great interest, followed the other threads on the Sector subject so I´m confident that I have a fairly accurate picture of the Sector in my head now.
But keep adding input to this thread, it nice reading.

I would have guessed that it is the other way around, the Method sits deeper than the Element since it is a dedicated wave kite and therefore the Element would go better upvind = better for racing.sorry but the method goes better, easier upwind
And your budy sucessfully rides the Kahoona. I find it hard to believe the the Kahoona would beat the Element for racing.that l did not say, l just mentioned that he Does not fly race dedicated kites, and has big fun with the board
You chosse the Ozone Edge over the Switch Nitro (I would recon the Nitro II would be great with this board?!?!?I was not able to fly the Nitrov2, I Have had the Nitro v1! But too much barpressure, and this is where the Edge exels in Low barpressure
I will most likely go for the Sector One Design since it is the same as the Sector V2. It is also a bit less money compared to the Sectro V3, about 200 Euros infact. the v2 is A real good board , yes It is the same as the one design, good luck and good fun

V1 and V2 are not quite the same. V2 has somewhat wider tail, planes a bit earlier as a consequence, but is not as easy to gibe.naishdude wrote: .......

I was under the impression that the Sector "One design" was the same as the V2. Note, the "One design" is NOT the same as the V1.alexrider wrote:V1 and V2 are not quite the same. V2 has somewhat wider tail, planes a bit earlier as a consequence, but is not as easy to gibe.naishdude wrote: .......

I think standard fins are longer and are straighter on the V2 (or is it the other way round?).
