Sonic 4 sounds like Soul version one, 9m or Gin Spirit. 9m Soul loved to go fast, much different than the 10m. Any better in gusty conditions? I am looking at a new 9m or 10m, in super high gusty winds foil kites at times can not be fun. I have Soul 2 8m + Sonic 4 10m. In gusty conditions my choice...

As I remember the guys there said it´s not a high wind area because Meltemi does not blow up there like on island of Rhodos for example. You will definitely need a car to reach this spot (but if you ...

...I would add Djerba then to the list. Not the highest quality hotels there but cheap and short flights from Europe. The lagoon there is really not bad for learning.

I´m 75kg as well and have just started (over) foiling (I´m still a very baaad foiler because low end capability of my souls has killed a bit my motivation to learn foil...
