So 140 it is then!!!
Sure I should have known duh... I guess thinking about kitesurfing at work isnt that good!!!
SInce you ve been kind enough would you tell me what would be best for me, either the 2015 Vegas (Hadlow) or the GP?
I want to ride wakestyle/freestyle, butter flat water but I havent been out kiting in a while... Are those kites very hard to handle and should I go more for a Ts?
Cheers.
if i were you i'd start with a kite that's easy to fly, relaunch etc. Get your basics skills down and get comfortable with it. Once you've got the basics and feel like you're ready to start unhooking and all that then get a vegas, gp or whatever. You can go straight to a c-kite but you might find it more frustrating and the learning curve a bit harder.

Cheers for your advice!!!
I m always getting a bit enthusiastic I guess!!!
Maybe the 2015 Ts would do then...
Hey bro the airush razor was my first c kite, they are awsome and you will learn everything so much quicker.

Hey mate,
Got your message but I m in London, Uk!!! I am interested in the GP because I get them at trade prices... The Razor seems to be amazing though!!!
Cheers anyway
you won't learn everything quicker with c-kites. Don't listen to people trying to sell their own gear on... do what you want mate, but if you want to progress as quickly as possible i'd recommend to get a second hand 2012 onwards beginner orientated kite. Then if you're killing it get on the c-kites as soon as you are doing all your unhooked basics. that is all

So the Ts would then be a better solution...

The Tona Flow is on top of my list but as I am 70kg and quite vertically challenged (170cm) which size would be better for me? Kite and cable...
Cheers,
Ed
136 or 140 would be fine for you Ed.
I'm 62 kg and 172cm and I ride the 136, Dre is 75kg and rides the 140.
It kinda depends on your local wind conditions and preferences in a board. If you've got lighter wind I'd go with the 140.

i can't see this board getting "explosive" pop with it's rocker and narrowed tips. For me this just sounds like dre's retirement board to slash waves and hit rails. I used to have a tona pop and its a sick board but there are a lot more explosive boards out there for pop. All you need to do is look at their profile. In saying that, I got a axis billy parker pro and the pop is much better but the landings can be ****. Win some, loose some...
It's a lot more Pop than I expected actually.
So it's definitely more of a "cruisey" board compared to the Pop, less speed for sure. However it's weird, it seems like to get the same height I would with the Pop off of a load/Pop I don't have to go quite as fast with The Flow. I wouldn't call it explosive.. more "effortless". You don't feel like you have to crank it.
The Pop definitely goes upwind better, but the Flow is weird in that department as well. You don't have to edge as hard, it's more about pointing the board and less about edging. Different techniques I guess.
I wouldn't call this board Dre's retirement board. Although I'll be sure to pass that nickname on and give him some ribbing for it :P
I really like what Axis did with their wakestyle line and the dual inserts. I think that's a brilliant idea. Board shape is solid for their line as well, and the 2015 graphics are gorgeous. They also went with the same PTex base that we've been using. Will do wonders for durability. Definitely a solid set of boards from Adrian and company.
