As you helpfully say, the flaw is that they would have worked even better had they been lighter*.

* word count = 18.
Better how? Present some evidence or the issues you found with the kite.

*word count = 13
Your words.*

* Word count = 10
Count again.

*Word count = 2

No, I switched to a different radix.

Try again.

Which one?

Check again. No definition given.

*word count = guess we are moving away from the "word count" thing. I'm not even going to ask for reasoning on that one.

There's only one (sic) possible correct answer! :lol:

See, I was going for the drinking game angle, not the brain teaser one. Didn't we hijack this thread to death already? Wanna move on? :party:

*Still curious as to what radix gives you a result of 10 when you count 13 individual items......but not curious enough to look it up. Not to mention, my brain's trolling firewall is going off like crazy.

Hi all, I am looking for advice.
My biggest kite - 11m 2016 pivot is soon on the end of its life, I could ride it from 13knots with my 73kg weight
I am looking for replacement but not sure what to get.
I am intermediate rider and looking for kite with good low end that can loop ok.
My other kites are core gts 4 9 and 10m and thiniking of getting something that should fly good on core bar, maybe fone bandit, north evo,dice or another core kite xr5.
Please help me decide, cheers :thumb:
For your weight, I would consider the single strutted 12 ULTRA and hydrofoil for under 10 knots
and a ULTRA 15 for TT (at least 44 cm wide) for >10 knots.
They are so light that can turn on a dime (small inertial mass), so looping shouldn't be an issue.
Another advantage is their drift in lulls. They just don't fall and don't overfly above your head.

* Word count = 10
Your word count for "Better how? Present some evidence or the issues you found with the kite." was 13 (decimal)

My word count for "Your words." was 10 (binary).

I was pandering to your predilection for obscurity. :lol:
