Hi,
I am currently kitesurfing with f-one impact. Its a good kite, however my smallest kite (8m) is very very nervous when surfing in strong wind. I am looking for a new kite, which is very stable and good to control in strong wind.
Can somebody give me a good tip?
greetz,
Johan

Very stable = Naish Sigma models. I have a 4.5 Code that i'm riding in strong and gusty winds. Possible kites to use are 2008 and 2009 Helix 5m, 2008 Code 4.5 and 2009 Cult 4.5.

Look in this thread for discussion about the benefits of these kites' unusual shapes.

I'm personably loving the 08 Nemesis HP.
I ride in Naxos in the summer vacation where is blows upto force 8.
This year I took the 7 HP and it surpassed my highest expectations in high gusty nasty wind.
rock solid and predictable.
See if you can get a ride on one and dont just take my word for it.

Depends: All kind of kites could be good in strong wind.
Do you kite in waves / gusty conditions? If you do a Cab Revolver HD could be suitable - That's what I ride (a 9) and really enjoy it: It has loads of de-power whilst keeping speed and giving you loads of air time !
