Filling the gaps in the quiver

martinipro - 3-10-2011 at 06:23 PM

Hi all:

I'm trying to figure out what should I be looking for to close the gaps in my depower quiver. I think my 8M synergy will stay as my low wind kite and the 16M-V2 will be a moderate wind kite.

I was thinking 1-2 kites to cover that gap, and maybe one for low winds. Ideally I'd like to keep it to close-cell so I can use them in water.

What a your thoughts about a pulseII or Unity 10? Would it cover the whole range between my 8Syn and 16V2?
Other idea was a charger 12M.

On the other hand I was thinking maybe a pulseII 8m and something a little bigger but can't figure out what.(maybe a 13m scorpion?)

For lower winds I would probably go with a FS speed. Maybe something on the 15m-17m range.

I do not mention any hq since I've heard a lot of mixed things. I would definitely be willing to try them if people recommend them.

Appreciate your input!!

Land or water?

Oh sorry I didn't specify. Currently land(buggying), ATV in he near future and hopefully water soon(once I really get the hang of flying).

8m Syn will be nukin' wind kite.
16m V2 moderate winds.
You'll need a bigger foil for lighter winds depending on your weight, board etc ...

Hey kami

Yes I own those two kites. The post was more targeted towards 1-2 kites to cover the range between the 8syn and 16v2.

As well as higher wind kite for a rider of weight 170lbs, winds of say 8-15mph.
