I pulled the trigger and got a 6 and 8 Ghost. I only foil. I come from SSTs (5,7,9,12) I mostly rode 9 and 12 in Utah as we get holey wind and sometimes very light in summer. I mainly rode 5 and 7 in Gorge and 7m in baja. I ride 91/683s Moses with a Kanaha Shapes 37 strapless.
I plan to get a 4m for those Gorge days....
I also snowkite and have a 15m Turbine but usually used my 12m SST. I sold them all, except 15m Turbine
So the question is does anyone have reviews of 10 or 12 Ghost? I think I should get a 12m because it would be a nice jump for big kite and better for snow kite. I think a 10 would work, but it might be to close to 8m. I think 10m will turn faster but still want low end big kite for light wind days.
My review of Ghost so far:
I rode the 6 once and it is awesome. I have been riding the 8 and it has a ton of range. I think the Ghost has less low end then advertised but has tons of high end. Hard to say because my friends say I was out in light wind and I might be to critical. I think I am trying to compare SST to Ghost. 2 different kites I get it. I like both and jury is out for now. I wanted new kites and was willing to try Ghost. The Ghost does relaunch supper nice. It does turn slower and I already downloop alot when I transition. I am getting used to it and have figured out how to load up before turn. Also I went one knot up on rear lines which helped.
Ghost wind range from SS:
8m – 15-32knots (17-36mph)
10m - 10-27kn (11.5-31mph)
12m - 6-22kn (7-25MPH)
