Hi all,
I bought a used HQ Apex III 7.5 m^2 a couple of weeks ago and am now looking for something bigger for lighter wind days, a bit more lifty and a closed-cell for if I ever want to try it on water.
I am 100kg / 220 lbs and a beginner at landboarding and would like to be able to kite from ~8-20 kts. I am looking at the HQ Matrixx II and FS Speed 3/4, but not sure what size would be good for my (beginner) experience level and a good addition to the 7.5m^2 Apex I already have - I am wondering if the 12m^2 would be enough for my weight, but I am also concerned the 15m^2 might be a bit too big of a step up from the 7.5m^2 Apex. Given the availability of used Speed 3/4s, I'll probably end up with one of those, rather than a Matrixx II.
Any guidance on 12 vs 15 m^2 size and what to pay attention to buying a used Speed 3 or 4?
Thanks,
