Re: Show me your light wind set up
after many flights with the cabrinha contra 15 m I have decided to stick with it......at 72kg and a nobile flying carpet I can get out as soon as the kite stays in the air without having to constantly work it or it wants to fall out of the sky........
Nobsukao you need a nice light wind board to drop ur low end by about 5knots.

Thanks, I know that I can go out earlier with a lightwind board...fogmeister wrote: Nobsukao you need a nice light wind board to drop ur low end by about 5knots.
I owned a couple of LW boards, especially door shape,
unfortunately I haven't found the right one yet...
