Postby Mattdog » Mon Apr 21, 2008 9:09 am

Going in May for 3 weeks. bringing 7m, 9m and 13m SLEs. Should I bother bringing my 5m for 30 to 40 knots. Does it blow that hard?

leave or burn the 13 and bring the 5. Your kite sizes suggest that you fly Waroos. If so, then burn all of your kites and bring a proper 9 or 7. Best kites do the donkeydonk when looped through the powerzone sometimes, and they have a picture of a flying dick on them. :bye: :baby: :remybussi:

In my experience it can be anywhere from 10-35+, and you do not want to be way overpowered in side-off conditions or you won't enjoy the killer wave.....

Cheers,

Bring a 5, 7, 9, 13, 17, kevlar vest, M16s, rocket launcher, tank, convoy of special force units, and Jack Bauer.

lastly, update your life insurance policy and will be fore you leave.

Good Luck Bro!
