I been riding this board this winter in the storms, 15 to 25 plus conditions. When the winds reach the upper 20's the board starts to feel too big, normally because the kite is too much. you have to drop down a kite size and/or rig for the gusts. (10m to 6m at 25/30kts for me) Myerscough has used th...

Am I close? :roll: I bet you can stay in shape just pumpin it up once a day... :naughty: I like a little retro style action, going back to where we've been is good and helps build appreciation for the hard work thats been done in kite design. big is beautiful! http://farm1.static.flickr.com/82/26915...

I think the skywalker 135p has a slight edge over the mako for bottom end, but not by much. Its hard to beat wide and flat for that very bottom end...unless you are ri...

Whats nice about the Rise is that it can go up into 20 plus knots no problem, so taking it out in a lite southerly (storm winds) is not a probl...
