The range is 20-40 for most riders. Toby could probably bust mobes on it in 55+ !!!!

C'mon, we are talking Toby. 62 knots.
Do you really think 40? I saw Kevin get his a$$ handed to him on that in 40 and he was semi-struggling in 35. |

Man I am really wanting to ride this kite in 30 and throw a kiteloop off a wave. I may survive, I may not. But damn it would be crazy fun for 5 seconds.

wow tom, your post went to the third page and the only person to make an offer to buy the kite........ is you.... thats sad
J/K i would get it, but since i already have 2 naish kites, i figured my third kite should stay the same, makes thing simpler...... btw 35Knots = about 42 mph..... i agree with scott, 35knots is the max of that kite for 95% of riders, the other 5% are those who know how to hold an edge from the old days of 25M C-kites in solid 12 gusting to 14 :shock:

Hey, I need a small kite for this season. Can you rig this kite with a 5th line, Tom?

Yes you can, and if you want to make it even safer, i have an extra rope cleat that can be mounted on your bar setup so you can pull a few inches in and lock it off to give even better range...... similar to the flexi axis 5line

Scott,
Would this be somethign for me in the 30+ range? I'm 6'4, 225 and love the ladies... Seriously, worth keeping in the back of my truck for upcoming season? I'm looking for something I can shred learning to move from intermediate to advanced... Would it get me up? |

IDK, Jayson knows these kites better than me. Thing is, he can also hold down kites in a lot more wind than most.
Let's just put one of you stud muffins out on this kite come the next hurricane, get a windmeter and a video camera, and document our findings!! Seriously though, Jay really knows how to edge a board on a C kite at it's top range. To make it short and sweet, I would put the top end of the 7m Fuel at about the same as a 9m Waroo. I remember riding that kite in 35 and flat water, not impossible at all. BUT, if I were in chop or waves... no way. With the C's it's all about forcing the kite to the edge of the window and keeping it their at it's top end with a hard edge, not sheeting out. |
