Tell us what your favorite light wind setup is.

Hey Gang!

Just for gits and shiggles I decided to start a new thread to see what folks are using out there in the big world.

DO) DO give us your Weight, Kite, & Board.

DON'T) DON'T give ANY explanation or critique.

EXAMPLE:

I weigh 95.25 kg / 210 lbs and my fave low wind setup is the Speed2 15M with my 2009 Litewave
Wing 153!

Beer. Unless there's waves, then it's 11m REV and a surfboard
