Does anyone know the projected area of a best nemesis 10m either 05 or 06?

measure your kite and plug in the numbers.......................

inflatos dont seem keen on advertising aspect ratios and us foil guys seem to thrive on them.................................

I know. I could find it for all the arcs but none of the LEIs had them.

Id be surprised if he knows the A/R without asking himself.......................use the formula and do the math........................:duh::duh:

He said he thinks it was 5.8m.

Would a 10m synergy deliver as much power as this kite? The synergy's projected area is 6.0.

for a big rider, the Best 10m would liven up earlier in 20kts + . and in lower wind more power in general than a 10m arc by a fraction.
my 10m pl in 30kts is a good beginning .( this tops around 50kts)
not sure of 10m syn specifically.
very similar in amount of power. nem 10m being harsher jerky feel.
10m arc just fast and somewhat smoother when loaded & feels more manageable
the 10m c-kite in 30kts is tuff if the water is rough /choppy this thing will punish you
