Too much wind for my 12M?
Hey Guys,
Tim from MA here again. Thinking of riding today, but the smallest kite i have is a 12M Switchblade (180lbs on a JL 139). Up in MA, NW tends to be very gusty...is that the case down here? Is it worth me going out or will I be too overpowered? Any suggestions on where to ride? Thanks, tim |

I left North Beach around 3pm.
It never got too hairy. Probably solid 25, maybe gusting to 30. Started off pretty light (around 9:30 am) at 15 or less. On the 9m Waroo the whole time. Perfect. |

yep , perfect for the 12m xbowIII at first then switched down to the 9m as wind kept increasing. tides were kinda funky ( slack ), so no waves but still fun on the waveboard. Lori tried that directional for the first time and even succeeded a gybe! Yeehaaaa! now she just needs one of her own , and she'll prolly ride it strapless!!!
