Light Wind Kites
Just bought a new toy. 19m Speed 2, I have put enough time on it now to know that I do not need the light wind kites I already owned. Have posted a couple of great light wind kites in the gear section just in time for the summer sessions.

6m, 8m, 10m, 12m, 14m Cabrinha Switchblad III's
7m 2006 Waroo just to try one. 13m Ozone Edge. Really great kite. 17m Cabrinha Contra 8m Slingshot Octaine for the quick loops. 19m Flysurfer Speed II for the rest of the summer and beyond. Wind range is now 8 knots to 39 1/2 knots, only because I have a lot of respect for 40 knots. Howard's wrong, they are not a problem at all if you understand how they work. Take the time to look into it, you will find a whole other world out there. The new foil kites acutally have quite a few really nice attributes, unassisted launches and landings, no pumps, no unhooking and hooking your lines up, easy relaunch in under 10 knots and above, no bar pressure, just put it out in front of you and enjoy the ride, it is the most stable kite I have ever put in the air (in light wind). |
