Opinions please?

Cant decide whether to get the 8M or 9M 2011 Cabrinha Switchblade.
Want it for the stronger Perth sea breezes (25 - 30 knotts), for ocean use mainly (Leightons for example).

I am 90kg and alos have a 11m Rev.
Skill level - just starting to boost

Comments from anyone who has experinace with the Cabrinha please.
8M or 9M?

Cheers

i'm 84kg and have a 10 and 7 2010 switchies, covers me for 16ish to 35kn the 10 is fine to about 28kn and the 7 is powered up around 24kn so in saying that maybe the 8m IMO hope this has been some help

I dont think there is much difference mayb 2knots bottom end if that.

I doubt that you ever think ..... oh i wish I bought the other one !

I agree with HP. If you think about a second kite. - Try and keep 3 kite sizes away, that will give you a perfect overlap with the switchblades. - This may help in determining your size. - I would probably go the 9m, at 90kg, and get a 12m later which would be a great kite range. Though i am in NSW and unfamiliar with the Fremantle DR.

You shouldn't go wrong with either kite IMO.

Go the 8 !
Give you more of a range over here...
To small a gap between the 11 and 9...

I'm a 105 and ride 7/11 rev2 combo
