Don't hold your breath Toby
Don't know of anybody who gets to the beach and says great it's only 12 mph and it won't pick up
So glad that I can film myself jumping high today
I'll show the world what I can do on my wide TT and my super duper $$$$ 15m at my 225 lbs weight
It will be awesome !!!
And as further proof I'll provide at least 4 other videos on different days in the same wind speed
Those skeptics will eat their words
Ha ha
I take it you didn't see the Ocean Rodeo video then (10-13mph allegedly)

Looks a pretty good jump regardless of the wind strength though.
Edit. Ahh yes you did. First reply to the thread. My bad.

Dracop has 12mph Maui wind which is more like 20 from my experience there.

I have been using Cabrinha Contra's and love these kites for light wind kiting on twin tips and surfboards. 19m is great for a steady 10-12kn trade wind, 17m for general light wind kiting 13-16kn and then the 15m machine for 15-18kn. They don't make a 19m anymore (since 2019) but I do hope they bring it back.
