i was out boosting on my hydrofoil yesterday with the 12m soul in gusty winds got into a stretch of 20-25 kts with gusts to thirty. riding with the foil at 12 oclock was no problem, then tacking hard upwind powered fully sheeted out for a boost............................now this isnt fun cruising around effortlesly on the hydrofoil , it was for boosting, i could and should have been on 10. But the range is large on these kites! i should mention i only weigh 65kg.
-- 10m for foiling in 20-25kts gusts to 30kts? .. looks more like 6m territory for me (because there is not a 4m..).. and you were on the 12m? must be boosting indeed...
