Hello All,
I am going to re-new my quiver for 2016.
I am 72KG and mostly riding a Twin tip of 136x42
For light wind i use the 18m sonic fr (flysurfer).
I wanna cover with the park from 16 to 40 kts.
What do you think of going for the 12 - 10 and 7 ? or the 11 / 9 - 7
An other option would be to go for 11 and 8.
I'd like to have your opinon on what make most sense ?
thx you

You'll be pretty lit at 40 with a 7
I kind of like the 11 - 9 - 7...but you are riding a TT. Could 12 - 9 - 7 be an option?
It does depend on what the most common wind is. I would start with that. If your "right" kite is 10, then build your quiver from there. If it is 9, then start there.

Hi Tautologies. Have you tried the new Park HD in waves? It seems very different from the previous and more freeride/freestyle oriented. Am I wrong?
Cheers
Carlo

Oh nice. I'm getting the 10 with ATB bar. I figuring the ATB bar still comes with a below the bar CL as well so if I really do not like it I can always just convert it.
Niko: how did you find the power on it?
Haiku: no I have not ridden it in waves. I am super excited to try it tho.

Disappointing feedback on the hangtime - I was hoping it would be as good, if not better than the 2015, which I found to be almost as good as 2014 Ozone Edges in the smaller sizes.

I'm not sure if I think that quite yet...if the comparison is the pivot that that kite has exceptionally good hangtime for such an agile kite.
I'm still committed to the 10 to check it out over time, and I am definitely looking to jumping it
