Ozone Edge 19 with 32m lines is a wery good light wind kite combo if you are +100kg and still prefer to ride a TT. It has way more power than any other 17m lw tube kite because of its bigger sice and enormus camber, 10% more camber gives 10% more power and I have never seen an other kite with so much camber. Combined with my SS Glide with only heelside 5.5 cm fins (toeside fins creates drag) I can always kite and go upwind if someone else is able to do so on their TT no matter their weight. The kite has big wing tips, so it turns realy well, and faster than many of the popular 17m LW kites.
I love my kite-board combo

OR Flites ! They are a great quiver if you switch between TT and Foiling. New V4 uses the same inflate valve as Cabrinha kites. I ride a 14.5 and 10M great range here in Florida.

WIth a foil or extra wide grovel surfboard, 12m cloud gets me going in about 10 or 11 knots --especially with long lines. And still a fun kite to fly. The 17m cloud allows more board choices at 10+ and takes the bottom end down lower than is really fun, maybe 7-8 if steady wind and no chop.

Best Roca 17 amazing kite perfect all the way. Turns fast huge wind range 7 to 20 knots for me (210) goes upwind like a rocket, light bar pressure jumps easily even with little wind and the hangtime is phenomenal. Super stable in the air feels like a 5 struts kite even though it has 3 struts. Relaunches very easily. After 6 months I haven't found a single flaw. It's not as fast as my Flite was but the upwind is so much better.

Hi John
What is your weight?
Do you compared the sonic 2 18 with the 15?
Thanks
