This morning had about 12 kts and at least two kiters were able to get going easily on the 12m XBow II


Basically a one kite quiver since it also handles 30 kts , In the Gorge last weekend, without even touching the depower strap

Pretty amazing 12-30 kts and all you have to do is switch boards


Z type- I can usually start riding my 12m c kite at about 17-18kts but it only goes up to about 24-25kts at 200lbs
