Thanks Regis,
as I would expect you to be the first riding with an 12 m² and seeing your difficulties while another guy is riding, it seems, that this is not its best disciplin.
Indeed I was really disappointed, the wind was enough for any double skin kite to ride with my weight, even strut less IMO ; the wind dropped down at least 1 knots afterward, and even with this significant drop, I was able to ride with my light double skin; I do not wanted to communicate too firmly on this big disappointment as the pulley lines were said to be not mounted correctly on this production batch (so Foilholio you should be true), why I wanted to test another one ... but as it was, indeed, it is not a light wind kite, in summary ... and one friend of mine seeking for marginal/gusty wind weapon on lake sold it very rapidly (even after the production problem correction) and kept its pulsions and Soul instead ...
Maybe the 12m could be suitable for classic surfing with heavy rider and on-shore wind , ... maybe ...
Of course for other sizes, it is a complete different topic with more wind, and it could behave very good; One friend of mine liked it in lower sizes on a hydrofoil.
Personally , not finding what I want as a light single skin kite (for marginal-marginal wind as a challenge), I am working on my own kite , derived from a paraglider , and still to be tuned (several month work expected ...)
