What do you think about the montana VI 7m?
I 14 and I would like to do some jumps with landboard.
my question is if 7m is enough to do small jumps with winds of 10-14 knots or meybe that 7m is not enough and I need to take 9.5m to do small jumps?

thank you.

Before the users here will send you off to go flying through the air, we need to know your experience level, what kites you've flown, how much, and what have you ridden with the kites. How much do you weigh?

With this info we can give you lots better advice. To start though, the Montana VI is an awesome kite. It might be a bit small for the winds you are talking about though, especially to jump with.

I flew 5 years ago. I flew Rush III 3m, beamer 4m and I rode a lot on my landboard and I also have a buggy.
my weight is about 42-44kg.
I bought this kite but I think to change the size to 9.5m.
What do you think? 7m is enough?

No, look at all the advice you got in your first thread on here. For your same winds, a 7m depower will not be enough for you to jump with. EVERYONE has said this. I imagine the English as a distant second language is preventing you from understanding our advice. For the Montana, you need the 9.5m.

thank you, but 9.5m is not too strong for me?

Not for the winds you describe. You have gotten great advice from many experienced kiters from all over the world. Translate it to your native language so you understand fully.

I understand these adivce but I think that the best choice was hq montana.
I order this kite yesterday, do you think that I can change the size to 9.5m?

You did great buying the Montana but you would be disappointed with its power in your normal winds. Yes, call or email your dealer right away.

At the end I took hq montana VII 9m. Do you think that is a good choice?

You should've gotten the 7m.................................. JUST KIDDING! The 9m is what everyone has recommended to you in both threads all along. Well done.

I took the 9m. I think is the best choice. Do you think that I should take the 7m?

So please tell me your opinion.
9m or 7m?

BeamerBob - 20-12-2011 at 10:03 AM

You are going to have to go back and read my previous posts and all the posts of all the other guys that have offered their advice.

I understood that you recommend to take 9m

Bob pointed you in the right direction, but seems you need some extra encouragement, 9m is better for that range. Good decision to switch.
