i have been on a buggy for a little over a year now and wanted to step it up a bit. so i bought a 12m manta.
i am 180lbs and 6',
i have tried the moutian board a couple of times with my razor and handled that verry well. how differnt will the new kite be?
i have flown it in lower winds (under12 mph) and would like to know what kind of winds i could handle with it?
dose any one else have experince with this kite or somthing like it?

I used to have Manta I 10M and 12M and regret letting them go 
Good for everything from Snowkiting to buggying. You can probably go up to 15mph with 12M on buggying, depending on your skill. Here is a picture of
me with Manta I 10M:
You made a right choice on Manta

how dose this kite handle gusty wind?:puzzled:

That's our famous Wildwood beach.
Probably not the best kite for gusty wind due to its high aspect ratio. Good float though.
Man~ I miss that kite! Don't let it go, kiteon!
