Hi folks,
I live in the US, NW of Detroit, MI and was thinking about adding a foil to my kitebag.
Right now I do not plan on going kitesurfing or kiteboarding (maybe later ), I just want more pull for skudding and jumping (just a few feet ).
My weight is 160lb.
The wind speed 'round here IMHO is around 5-25mp/h.
After endless forum studies, test reviews, ... I ended up narrowing it down to : flexifoil bullet, blade or the ozone little devil with approx. size around 4.5m2.
(Actually I got the reccomendation at a store to step down from my original intention of a LD 6.0)
The Blade is a little pricey for just trying it out but I like the slogan on their site: ....Recommended for intermediate to advanced flyers - and those with no fear... < I'm going with the last part
Anyway, anybody local that has a recommendation what'll work best ?
Has anyone flown one of those foils around Detroit ?
Is the 4.5 size a appropriate size or too big / too small ?
Am I making a wrong choice on the type foils after all for Detroit ?
BTW: Are there any bigger local flying fields around ?
Thanks
Frank
