Any experience?
Or which kite from Gaastra lineup would you choose for hydrofoiling in light winds?
Thank you!
Greetings,

if you don't care about racing you can use the Sparks for lite wind, especially if you are the heavier rider. it is good all around kite with the very good relaunch.
but if you are in race Jet is your choice

Hi,
I am not into racing. I just need a kite that would
stay in the air in the lightes winds and relaunch in
as little wind as to be expected from a tube kite.
Which size would you chooze if you were me
i am 75kg dry and naked.
I am now using 2008 Ocean Rodeo Rise 12
and i like it in all other aspects besides relaunching
and staying in air in light winds.
I have not used it in under 10 knots, but i would like to.
Thank you!
Jaros
