FireWire Evo is a great board - the shape easy to ride and do foot switches on. Comes in 4-10 20l

10m is good for 15-25 mph with twintip.

You could do 9 and 12 or 10 and 12 depending on wind conditions. I have 8 ,10,12 and use mostly my 10 in the conditions you described.

I had 2011 and 2016 - 2016 was much lighter than 2011 especially for turning.

I have only used 2019/2020 model. I like it for both twintip jumping and strapless surfboard. So it fit what I was looking for.

There is a new review from wetestkites.com that You can check out as well.

Airtime at hood river will give you a quote online with a photo. They are great but shipping will be around $60.

It may not make sense to fix if you are thinking of getting a new kite soon though- especially if this is a 2013 kite.

I wouldn’t get the drifter for a twintip.
It’s amazing on a surfboard but just ok on a twintip.

Now for mowing the lawn and small jumps it is fine.
The switchblade and the moto are better suited for free ride and jumping. I also heard that the drifter is not great in 12m.

Thinking about a new twintip for hooked in jumping and tricks in both choppy and flat water conditions.
Any thoughts on the naish motion Nobile NHP and Jaime?

Thx

Check out playa mujeres 30 min north of Cancun.
Long uncrowded beach and can take winds from all directions. Great resorts but not much nightlife.

I stayed at the finest and beloved.

Perhaps management wanted out - cabrinha minus Pete and team is worth less than current cabrinha.

I wouldn’t buy a surf specific kite for a twintip. I tried the cab drifter before and didn’t enjoy it on a twintip - not enough power and lift.
