16.5m warrior - is this kite too crazy?

maxlevens - 22-1-2006 at 02:57 PM

I want a really big kite for low wind landboaring, ive found a very good deal for one of these, is it going to be good for low wind boarding - will it work on the edge in low wind?

any experience will be appreciated

yeah! a quickie for anyone out there: how much less power will my 7m bee have than my friends 14m wipika LEI? (rather old) cos he was getting some sweet jumps and i havent been able to fly mine yet and was wondering what to expect when i did!

You cant compare size to lift. Some kites are very lift, some are not. I would say the best thing to do is get out and fly that thing so you know whats going on. You can get air with the firebee, but I wouldnt look for as much as someone with an LEI. Most of them are lift monsters.

kite ive got now is a 9.5 sabre, but havnt had loads of time with it due to the recent lack of wind - got it at xmas - (have had loads of fixed bridle exp though). It should be a real laugh to fly i think - will be a damn lot of float on a foil that size with a mid ar.
