I was in playa Maroma last week. 10m and 13m. and twintip. almost 200 lbs. I kited 3 days/week. a 12m would have been ideal. I was a bit overpowered with my 13 Edge duyring 2 sessions. so the 10 would have been ok then. sometime the wind was irregular (in strength and in direction). so the 10 was so...

What is the size and that board? 150 x 45?

Nice! I have a Flywave from Flysurfer or their other n'a me for boards. Flyboard I think. 3 fins at the back. 2 front. Assymetrical ends. I like it in the WAVES. But it is very flat. Not very confy in the chop and jumping. It is made of Wood. The range is not that great. You need speed (no flottatio...

That must be fast... But prob not that fun in the chop.
The shinn turbo seems to carve nicely.
Laluz from xenon has a classic razor shape. Very small rocker.That is a key for speed and good pop. And upwind capability.
I.e less wave oriented.

Not sure all ozone bars are the same. I used a 2013 reo bar on a 2012 best ts. Weird feeling. Like on off power no real depower. The kite felt untuned. I usually used a best or LF bar on it with good results. Try it before buying it. The Y position is a factor. High on the LF. Below the bar depower....

Thanks guy!

Very informative. I am.about to pull the trigger On a 12m.

How do the cloud kite age over time? Any kind of deformation over time? The canopy remains tight? I wonder if over time the canopy deforms a bit. I guess with tension it still works ok. Is it a know issue in general? For the cloud and all kites with large panels. Which product is used for the c2 can...

Thanks for the input guys. I am still thinking about this. I am not sure. I have located a Reo 12m, a Cloud C2 12m. (but I find it is pretty expensive for what it is and the risk that come with it). Also being no strut. can it deform with time? resale value and maintenance could be an issue. I still...

Hi guys! I am looking for a new kite, in the 12-15m range. Something fast, fun on a surfboard, and good low end, that fits nicely with my 10m Reo. I have a 7m Wainman, a 10m ozone reo. I had a 12 Envy and a 12 best TS. Ok, but it was kind of too big and too small… i.e slow, and not a lot more powerf...

I am still looking at Boracay for April. I am hesitating with Colombia as well. full month. For boracay: I checked windguru. Depending on years, it mays have like almost 30 days over 4 beaufort (17 knots). Once in a while, it will only get 15 days over 17 knts. I have a 8 and 12m. 80 kg. a 138x41 cm...
