why are people stuck on wave kites for high wind.....get a 5 strut kite that can eat gusts and boost , bigger wind range...
I'm 70kg have 6m Edge and love it from 28-40kts....run it on 25m lines 38cm bar....
I'd look at..
1.rebel
2.xr5
3.edge

I was considering an Edge - have only ridden one and found it a bit light on the bar - latest version or any...?

When the wind is 30+ knots in our country it is almost always very gusty. I used my 6m Enduro V2 last week (in the eastern Solent) and the wind was up and down like a tart's knickers between 26 and 35(ish) knots. To be honest any half decent kite would have worked fine ...

If you like the Reo but want to jump as well why not the Ozone Enduro (V2). Has a wave setting and a jump setting on the front bridle as well.
... but yes, this ^^^. The 3 different Enduro V2 bridle settings really do work very well.
