crap! 35 knot on a 9M...I am afraid to fly my 3M in 20 knots...of course, being drug across an open field is more painful than sluushin through water...
|
I believe the bordercross was 35-gusting to 45kts or so
I was real happy on the 9M bow |
I was holding it down... riding was no problem. But when walking and trying to drag to my board it was just a pain in the ass. So, I sat and landed it... didn't drag me TOO much while sitting.

Really BigR? Thats good to know about flat kites. 35 gusting to 40's on my 9m C kite was pretty scary even with someone holding me down. I will never do that again if I can help it.
Once on the water is wasn't too bad though. I wish it hadn't been a race so I could have sent it a few times. |
Strange how holding an edge is no problem huh tom... problem is getting out onto the water though!
Because I had no problem edging upwind or riding (except when trying to get onto a few waves, that's when I'd lose my board) but once on land or having to drag, it was a different story. |
