A very cold rainy session with winds on bom.gov.au reading min 22knots to a max of 37 knots from the time of 2pm to 4pm 6-September-2008 when we where out. This was a good test of the 2009 Griffins top end, with depower pulled in the 9m handeled the gusty conditions smoothly and had plenty of depower when needed. From this session I can say the ridable wind range for me 86kg on a 124 board would be 15 to 38 knots. However the preferd riding windrange is probably 17 to 30 knots. The 9m was solid and stable in the gusty conditions, steering was predictable and jumping was huge.
