Hi Guys,

I'm a complete rookie in this sport. Just got my new gear a few days ago, 10.5m Liquid force Envy 2015 and an Axis inferno board.

Wanting to go out tomorrow at Applecross. Weather looks to be from 17-23knots.

Just curious as to what you guys think of this?

Is it too strong of a wind for that size kite?

I'm 74kgs and this is the first time I go out without an instructor

Cheers

easterlies are probably not the best to be going out and learning . Don't go to applecross in an easterly either

Depending on how well you have your kite skills dialled and if the instructor taught you how to de-power your kite. The wind tomorrow will be blowing from the south after lunchtime.

What are you like at climbing trees ? :)

Ended up going out with the 10.5... Wind was howling, full depower and I was still being pulled along. 2/10

Ps. Is it normal to see some of your lines fraying when you are up and running?
