A15m for a heavier guy
Posted: Sun Jun 09, 2019 5:51 pm
*I weigh 205 to 210 Lb , (94kg)
* I use 140 TT and 5'5" swallow tip directional, for kiting.
*I can expect a wind change of 14-28-mph , ( 12 to 25 knots) ; and
that's gonna happen about 4 to 7 times a day on East Lake Mead , and
Lake Mohave. I don't want 2 different kites for typical day use.
My 13m Ozone Edge, can handle that range easy ; especially on the top
end, if it goes to 30-mph. While i'm waiting out a lull in the water ; i can
keep it in the air , down to about 6-knots
Learned on a PL foil kite in 2003; bin actively flying them ever since. Tuning the
newer kites should be a quick learning curve seeings how my PG has 51 cells
and the lines & mixers, must be maintained for every flight. 33 cells is a
rather low count, for a PG.
1) Will the A15 handle that wind range, with my weight ; if so
how many meter kite should i get ?
2) i have both 4, and 5-line Ozone bar 55cm , (22 and 27m,Q-power lines) ; will
that work, or go for the ready to fly kite ?
Those prices , are Great at Panish !!!!!!!
Thanks : Bille
