hi all just having trouble finding the right kite in the range 25knts-mid high 30s im 70 kg and ride a 2013 vegas 10m 90% recently ive been out on a 2011 8m cat great kite but lacked a lil zing then a 2012 7 vegas great but not forgiving enough in the high end timing had to be spot on then a 2011 8 switchblade bit to much grunt for the highend and heavyer bar and a 2010 9 c4 felt great but i think user error n heavy crashes rolled it through the center lines easly... i ride mostly cross onshore on a 5 10 wam or rivermouth on 134tt ...thinking new 8m cat or 2013 vegas 7 need some more ideas or others experiences thanks..
You want something stable like the cat in high winds. Most those who have them rate them as a high wind kite. At your weight though maybe a 6m.
Ive got a 2011 Cabrinha Convert 7m, my go-to kite that im selling. Super stable, huge range wicked kite all around, amazing condition cuz im a chick. haha. email me if u wanna know more about it. Cheers
Roll through centre line is no problems on C4, being 4 line, it is very easy to fix without leaving the water or even releasing to safety...
Ive had some of my best sessions on the 2012 8m cat. 25-35 knots. its super sweet in crazy gusty winds. but your right at the bottom end it lacks zing.
