With twintip the bottom end will be higher 13 knots
I need a surfboard to get up on the water in 11 knots (100kg)

I just can't believe that 14m is equal to 17m

I've had a demo of a 2014 14m Lithium and it was comparable to my 2010 Zephyr for low down grunt. Top end is typical delta style grunt. I can't remember the top end wind speed at the time.

When it's time to replace my Zephyr, the Lithium will be top of the shortlist for another demo
