What will I be expecting ?? 5.6 twister

OllieN - 24-7-2009 at 03:09 PM

Hey guys I've been using my super 10 and I'm now going to get a twister 5.6m BUT start very very small. I weigh 115 pounds, what will I be expecting at 5-10 mph and what will I be expecting with 15mph plus. Your views are very much appreciated thanks everyone -ollie

at 115, your gonna get good air at 15mph... start slow with that bad boy, i have a buddy that got bruised ribs from a twister, he was 165, and flying in 10ish winds, and went all super man... baby steps are key, that kite packs a punch... but having flown a super 10, you at least are familiar with the pull of the wind!

i dont think u should shoot for 15mph right now--10 should be your limit,until u get comfy with it.....

I Guess hndles I always have used handles and when I get boarding in about a year I will get bar

Good choice. You may not even want to go to a bar.

Be very carefull while getting used to this one ! It will be a great kite but a big step up.
