I've got a couple 9m's. But they seem to only be suited for when it is blowing no less then 20mph, gusting 30mph(our typical windy day).
I need a kite for all the days when it's blowing avg 15mph, lulls to ~12mph and gusting 20-25mph.
I think an 11m would fit this?
Right now as it is with my 9's; I'm sitting out too many marginal wind days when I think I could be out there if I had an 11m.
I'm looking for a complete(matching bar for the kite) unless it's an 11m Switch Element.
I'm 160lbs and I have a CrazyFly Allround huge board and a 140 Mako.
I'm still learning so something with good low end grunt so I can get up and going on the board. Looking for light bar pressure, park and ride,
stable, and good at handling gusts/lulls, and easy relaunch. I feel underpowered each time I go out in 20mph wind on the 9m.
This 11m needs to have ridable power in 15mph wind and I don't want to be totally overpowered if it gusts upwards of 25mph.

Hey rtz,
I've got an 11 m best Waroo 2008. It's in really good condition. Here's the post:

I've been trying to keep the Best bar and lines because I only used them once, but you may be able to twist my arm. I'll take pictures of the bar.
I'm thinking $350 with the best bar.

I use a 9m , 13m and 17m LEI for water. I'm about your weight. So 9m for 20mph - 30mhp , 13m for 15mph - 20mph and 17m for less than 15mph. I use
my spleene door so that helps with the light wind. You most likely need a larger flat board in the 160cm range to help you plane easier.

11m will give alot more days for sure, definitely help on days where 9m is marginal.
just watched the vid i posted...kinda makes me want to keep it....that unit 12-18mph at your weight would be nicely powered , esp. with the boards
you have. forgot how stable the unit is... perfect size for this design IMHO.

Just listed my 2010 Caution Zombie 12m in the For Sale section. If you take both kite and bar I'll split the shipping with you. Low end for my
overweight 190# frame is @13.
