Interested to know from other Ozone Chrono V1 or V2 owners the maximum wind speed that you feel comfortable in when using your Ozone Chrono 9m?
Launching in high winds does present additional risk in my opinion as everything happens a lot faster.
I bought my 9m V1 for the 20+ mph winds, but this kite is usable for me from about 16mph. There has been a number of times having arrived at the beach to find the wind is 25mph plus and have been reluctant to use my 9m when I see other kitesurfer’s on 9m inflatables in those sort of winds, I’m thinking perhaps I should be on a 7m. I have missed out on a number of sessions as a result of being cautious.
I’m not one for going out “overpowered” and have always selected the right size kite for me over the years that I have been kitesurfing.
