Flysurfer Speed 3?

KCKITEFLYER - 6-2-2013 at 08:25 PM

Hello all,

Wanting some feedback. I am a big guy use to flying HQ Neos

I am making the switch to Flysurfer and curious to what sizes to get into.

I am 6'3 235lbs

I am going to Kitesurf, buggy, and landboard.

Looking at the 12m and a 19m or a 15m and a 21m?

Thoughts?

Wind ranges for your area? land water or both?

I will be in Kansas City and St. Louis. Some days its nuking 15-30 gust or 10-20mph. Or below 10mph.

Start with a 19 DLX and a 12...

Yeah, Kami is correct.

Those kites are currently available for sale here on PFK and if you're willing to start with a used quiver, it's a good way to be introduced to Flysurfer.

There's even a 21m S3 here for a pretty decent price.

And of course, you can always come back here to sell your HQ Neo quiver on PFK. There are lots of good sellers and buyers on the forum.

O without a doubt I stay pretty active selling and buying here. Noted info in terms of the kites. I will be sure to update y'all as I make my purchase in the near future.

If you like being powered, then get a 21 and a 15 :D I think the 15 is the best S3 - lots of grunt, fast enough for my lack of skills, not so twitchy as the 12...
