Kite for heavy guy jumping

nylon - 22-4-2008 at 11:19 PM

Hello guys,

I've been flying the Blade III 6.5 in moderate winds. I'm 230lbs and i find it kind of difficult to get some good airtime. I was thinking about upgrading to 8.5m... Any suggestions/comment? Will 8.5m be enough? Would 7m be better?

Thanks a lol!

I hear the Blade IV's are up a notch in power vs. the III's. That's why there isn't a 10-10.5m anymore. I'm the same weight and fly easily with my blade at 10 mph and above. The higher the wind above that, the higher I go.
