07 rhino 10m low end?

[James Bond]

reading the north site it says 13 mph !
im a 90kg 007 on a 130x40 tt
what do u think the low end would be?
reviews suggest the 10m is the best rhino in the range

I have a Rebel 10m and I can get going in about 15-16 kts with my 131 Jamie Pro. I would guess that the Rhino is close to the same. I weigh about 175 lbs

i HAVE flown the rhino 10 2007 about 5 times so far. I have been meaning to review it. just back from oahu where it saw NO action.

for many years i heard BS about a kites range, but this damn thing is pretty true to hype. It has better low end than my 06 ion 12m, and top end has not been reached (I have only had it out in gusts to low 30's)

SO,
I am 185lbs, add in wetsuit etc for cold bay area, and I ride a 139/145 jimmy lewis custom.
On the bigger board I had it out in 15mph winds,lulls of maybe 9mph/gusts about 19mph. No problem staying to weather.
in the lulls she moved fast and pulled, but with my weight it was a downwinder, then in the gusts and it was fine.

I think the wind range claimed is pretty real. it loves high wind but pulls really well. I think this kite is amazing with its range. It could be a one kite quiver for some lighter guys maybe, or if you had 2 totally different boards.

I buy my own stuff, kiting for 6 years, first NORTH kite ever..stoked. nobodys pimp. (i actually have an extra 10m rhino 2007/never used of my wife's, will sell next week....maui this week)
