Similar body weight and foil to yours. Flysurfer site says zenith parking at 6 knots. Doubt we could foil in 6 knots with it. Do you think 8 to 9 knots is reasonable?drsurf wrote: ↑Sun Feb 24, 2019 7:18 amHi Slowboat.
I have had a 6m Soul for about 6 months and have used it mainly with my Moses 633 foil on a 125 Axis minimal volume board and it works great for me. I'm 65kg and can foil with the 6m almost to the point it won't stay in the air. It also has a good wind range at the high end and works well with a TT board. I'm not sure of your experience with a foil kite but if it's your first time with a foil kite compared to an LEI kite it will be a bit different in its turning characteristics and where it develops its power. Being a foil kite it has good drift and can go quite deep downwind.
However a lot depends on your weight, type of hydrofoil, foil kite experience and wind & launch conditions where you intend to fly the kite. If you can tell us more it would help.
