All good advices here, really.

About if it is worse once a year dépends if the winds often reaches 6-8 knots. Because you will rapidly dicover how low end the pulsion can ride, which hen opens a lot of new rides potentially...

Here in french riviera, it is the kite i uses the most now, without thinking riding was even possible in those low winds 5 years ago...

Agreed, great advice.
I'm lucky to have good winds so the 12m rarely gets used.
Launches are not very friendly to big foils either which does not help.
Thanks
