Hello!
What's a kite that has a massive wind range if i have a 9 ..really massive like kind of makes it a 6 or 12 too..so massive i'd be completely amazed by it's massiveness of wind range&lack of stalling ;
That drifts really really well turns fast and is a bit of an allrounder and maybe boosts well. Not bothered about it's other 'freestyle capabilities'..
just such a super massive wind range that performs well within it..with such super drifting too it'd be amazing..
2012-18...earlier ok i'd just use another barlines

Looking for recommendations

Thankyou in advance

I have a mate with a 9m Edge as his only kite, when I'm struggling to stay upwind on my 12 he is out there on the 9 Edge looping it like crazy and staying upwind. When I'm over powered on my 9, he's still out there, boosting massive on his 9. Haven't actually flown the Edge myself though however I'm very impressed with my 12m Moto wind range and ability to handle gusts.

Chances are if one existed you'd know about it already. I actually saw the end of a rainbow on Ocean Reef Rd about 10 years ago but much like the kite you describe there was no Leprechaun and no pot of gold

Lol
Ok
Bugger...thanks ..good analogy

Go demo the 7m Nexus, 7m Neo, 7m SST from Action sports see what you like first. Thats what I did, everyone is different so what suits one may not be for another.

not <2018 but demo the 2020 Ocean Rodeo Roam - very light in the air, light bar pressure - there are some 7m & 9m demo kites in WA at the moment.

I can take my 8m enduro from 10-35 knots.

I can take my 2004 Windwing Rampage 17m from 13 knots, to 14knots. Anything under that and it falls out of the sky, anything over and it drags you downwind - like a truck. But when it's 13.5 knots.....it's amazing still a C kite from 2004.

Yeh and the 2 inch depower throw was amazing on them as well.

Yeah mate its easy as. The trick is to step on and off different equipment as you go through the wind range.


10-20 hydro foil 10-15 cruising/waves 15/20 hauling arse and jumping
12-22 kite buggy 12-18 sand dunes - 18-22 make 25 at a push speed runs
20-35 mutant. 20-28 waves slowly leaning boost and wave ride 28 + booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooost and mutant slash and grab old school storm kiting sillyness.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! 25knot wind range.

I would recommend 2 kites - the main one (worth most of your budget) for your most common wind range (in my case a 9m Drifter which handles 13-30knots) then a 2nd hand cheapy for the least common wind (in my case an old 6m BWS Noise 20-35knots). That said I ride my Drifter 99% of the time (when others are out on 12m & 14m kites I'm fine on a surfboard). If you like boosting/freeride then try a Rebel (my old 2012 10m Rebel did 12-30knots) or Edge or similar.

And definitely use different boards to extend the range: surfboard or large TT for low-end and small TT for high end.

Ok...thankyou v much thuffam&plummet
i'll look into enduro and rebel/edge.. & espec drifter..
I had a feeling the drifter was called a 'drifter' for some reason...... thanx v much..never actually had one..
sounds perfect have that bws6 too thanx to sale doctor perth... which has turned out great for rare ones.....this week however it's going to be every day!!! (Piccie)....had 8's etc before .love it
9 'drifter' might be the right one (73kg) so i dont have to carry about an 11 too.....plus it must be an awesome drifter like bws is..

Love what u said plummet made me laugh lol thanx
