Paul-
I am definitely keeping my 13 Cross for the lighter wind days. I weight about 195 and can ride the 13 in about 13 knots up to 20 knots fairly easy. I am into freestyle and would like to get into riding waves when possible - no racing. I was looking at the Nomad or Switch to get better at kiteloops, etc. I would like to ride something quicker when the winds hit 17 knots or more. The other guys I ride with do a lot of unhooking - I may or may not get into that. Shoulders aren't as strong as they used to be
. Along with the performance of the kite, I would also like to hear about the bar pressure. I am hoping it is lighter than the CB. Thanks for the help.
