i need some help in choosing a high wind kite. im 60kg and am looking for a small kite for winds of 20/30 kts. was thinking about a 6m SB3. any feedback please.

yep i have a 10m and 6m sb3 and im 53kg i love the 6m, sooooo fast! i use it in anything over 14 knots but with a 4 knot outgoing tide. i say get 1 if you get high winds sometimes or kite in a spot with a fast outgoing tide. or maby a 7m


check this out, don't know what the Converts are like tho.

NEW 7m
they are designed for high winds and the safety functions with relaunch are awsome, i have the 11 but have rode the 14, 9 and 7 as well. the kites are solid
i recomend you find your closest demo person and have a ride, they're a smooth kite.

ps were do you live it could help with supplying a person who has a demo or just check out the site www.newkiteboarding.com and have a read.

Why, so they make you weigh more?

yep another 20grams and i recon ill be out in 35 knots

yeah,wish mine where smaller so I could get up and riding in lighter winds.

20 to 30knots is a weak little breeze, 35-40kn is high winds.

However, I can't even get out of the house my balls are so huge...

yeah i live in tannum sands. no one here sells cabrinha kites.

cheers kiters

try the new airush flow FT, they are fast but really grunty and stable. i have a 7 but have yet to try it out.

I had a switchblade 1, 7m for about 18 months. Very good high wind kite for me, I'm 64kg. I now have an Ozone Edge 7m which I think is slightly better - bigger boost and very stable in gusty conditions. It has less depower than the SW and is much lighter on the bar but still has feel and no pulleys.

54kg? 35-40 knots?
Dude just get an umbrella and u'll be fine.

i use my old 6m airush dna for 30knt+ never has let me down once. and easy to fly
