I think Airush VarialX will do the trick for you, or maybe newer Switchblade, I would stay away from Evo, very different. I personally dig VarialX, forward flying, goes fast too paired with a fast board, great hangtime, very predictable, nice looking, crazy range. It does have some bar pressure, the...

I'll try to add some info here , We have a local guy here who distributes Ozone and North and he's a big fan for Zephyr, used to recommend it to almost anybody talking about it's range. Lately he was riding a lot on 15m Juice though and he told me that the Juice loses a little on the low end (which ...

Watching the news. Toyota have just announced a Land Cruiser with no chassis rails. Pretty responsive apparently ... And cheap to build Westozzy, this is what I diged out from Toyota Website : Body Construction Unitized steel body on 10-member high-tensile steel ladder frame That sounds like a fram...

My vote for Shinn lineup, personally own Supershinn, it just floats over the chop, and tried the Monk, same thing with less pop.

pm if interested

Go for a Smaller Sector, not the 60, unless you're 200lb and more, the board is just amazing, fun, playfull, blasting around, had mine for 3 years and would probably never sell it.

I rode 2011 15m Edge for two seasons, mostly with the Sector, small 52cm most of the time. Same weight as you, I can say the Edge is very nice when it picks up, I had awesome sessions in 10-12knts+, again with the Sector. It transitions very well, surprisingly for this type of kite, talking about lo...
