Reo V5
Posted: Wed May 15, 2019 1:31 pm
Hello fellow kiters, I have a little kite question:
I recently changed my kitesurfboard (bought a firewire vader 5'1), which is much more agressive than my previous board (I like it a lot...)...
My Catalyst 9m² (2014) seems a little slow now when I surf...
Will it change a lot if I swap it for a Reo V5 9m² I'm a little scared to loose too much lowend with a pure wave kite.
I'm looking for a faster turning kite but with enough power to be able to use it from 16 knots on on my Vader 5'1. I'm about 80 kg (From 16 knots on I can use my cat 9 m² with my vader...)
I also plan to use it on my foilboard from 10-16 knots, so does the Reo V5 fly well in low-wind ?
I don't know if the Reo V5 in the onshore setting is very powerful... any feedback about this kite ?
(I also have a struttles 12 for my foilboard, and reo V3 7m² en reo V4 5m²).
thanks,
Nayy
