Core are great kites. I don't own the GTS (only XR), so take my opinion for what is worth but the declared wind range is very close to the truth. With a standard TT, i can easily stay upwind with my XR4 11 in about 12/13 knots in fresh water and I had good 23/24 knots sessions with the same size. Declared wind range if I'm not wrong for the 11 is 11-26, so imo just add/subtract 1 or at least 2 knots to the declared range, no more.
I'm about 75 kgs, my TT is a Shinn Bronq 136x42.

[/quote] 40KNTS? I would want a 7m maybe even a 6m [/quote]
6m for strapless not for overpowered kitelooping
Thanx jespin4845

actually, a lot of people do like core. It is a great light wind option. personally, I don't like the super light bar pressure. you really have to visually look at the kite more instead of feeling where it is. The gts is a fast turner which would be good if you could feel where it was. The auto swivel is pretty cool, I will admit. I would like to give the five line c kite a go, but it never makes it to the demos.
The light bar pressure is one of the things I like the best about core kites.
Feeling the kite is never an issue for me, no problem. The GTS 4 is not as light as the GTS 3. The low-end is not the best with the GTS, but excellent with the xr.
