Go for the 14m RPM and the 10m RPM..
The 14m is rly nice for unhooked kiting in 10-15knts

and i can ride my 10m RPM from 14knts..

132x41 bord, me 75kg

Agreed if you want to stay RPM go for the 14m not the 12m if you own the ten. We have a guy here who just bought the 14m to do freestyle in lower wind and he loves the kite.

his quiver is 9-11m fuel and 14m rpm for lower wind.

Here he is here

135 UG
14m RPM (green black, sexy kite :rollgrin:

)

Unhooked kite loop in 11-13 I think check the water not much going on

I think he's 70 something Kg not 100% sure but I know hes over 70k.

Very nice quiver, so hard to get a 14 RPM Second Hand though...

lol Your going to hate this! I bought him the 14m from canada new for $950can and brought it back during a business trip. silentsports (can) and kiteline (US) both sell end of line kites cheap!

10m kite =20" Bar
12m =20"
14m = 23"

17" bar is 9m kite and down. Using the small bar on a bigger kite will slow the kite down and add more bar "turn pressure" you will have to really crank the bar to get the kite to loop. Could also take a little power out of the kite as the kite will be bigger but inside tip to tip pulled in because of the bar. might fly a little weird too (never tired this) I can not comment on the wakestyle pro's/cons

cheers

4 me, experienced rider, 75 kg, super flat water and no current i could go upwind at 13-14 K with a Xenon La-luz 132.

Cheers

Just got the 7/9/12 quiver only had a few sessions on the 12, but I would say it is good for 15 to 25 mph.
Great kite loads of grunt and good relaunch very happy with it
