... hey big John, nice work and cool idea!bigjohn wrote:A new place for us big guys to discuss gear options and necessary equipment upgrades. I've found that people less than 210lbs (95kg) can't usually offer usable advice on gear because generally the weight differences make gear choices vastly different.
I'm 6'5" 260lbs. I would consider my current style a cross between freeride & wave.
I ride mostly strong wind gusty inland lakes in southern Alberta, Canada. (My local spots)
Current Gear:
Kites - 2013 Ocean Rodeo Razors 12m, 9m, 7m
(I've found kites that sit deep in the window work well for my size and style)
Boards - 2010 Ocean Rodeo Mako King
2007 Best Ltd 144 x 44
Second hand custom Surfboard 6'3" x 22" x 2 3/4"
Harness - Ocean Rodeo Session 2.0 size XL
Hoping to spread the word about this new group forum for us heavyweights.

What he said. Love my Flite but want more height!jespin4845 wrote:anyways i was wondering if i could pick your brain on the razor's, i want a kite the boost good, has massive low end and loops like a C kite, what wind range do you fly your 12 and 10 in? where do you find yourself having fun with it jumping and trying out rolls/loops?bigjohn wrote:
