roadie.. an 11/12/13m kite will get a lot of use for you once you are ready for 25+ wind conditions..

i am 205.. have a 9/12/16 combo and use the 12m primarily.

the 9 a few times this weekend.. it was very windy.. more than normal for around here..

and Tom..
that is scary stuff man.. again.. glad you are ok.. 2006 waroos can get sketchy.

and yes.. last night as it was becoming dusk I had already put my kites down (exhaustion from too many hours kiting).. but Dan got nuked off the 12m waroo. It hit hard last night.

Sunday thru the middle of the day.. noon to 4pm ..I was riding the 12m and was often at the top end.. Randy was reading 30 at the skyway.. I think that might be a little high as I was able to hold down the kite fine with minor moments of thinking it was too much.. I rigged the 9m and it was fine but i was in the mood to be powered up.
