What are you guys betting on again? A kite?
Hmmm.... the board is far more important in light wind.
I will ride upwind of that foil on my 9m Waroo using a Glide in 8 to 11 knots (I don't need that 14m Era) if the Whitey has to be on a board less than or equal to 135 by 41. I have done the same thing to Bob on his 14m Era a few times.
The foil isn't going to make up for the board, if forced to ride a small one.
The board is way more important in light wind.
What are you guys betting?
How can you lose to a 9m Waroo in sub 11?

Oh, I have ridden that 19m II. It's a nice kite.
