What do the landboarders on the forum use for these high winds? especially when it's 17mph gusting to 25mph? I weigh 145lbs So i am looking at a
2m or 3m kite. to just cruise around. I havn't been able to have a session in over a month. High gusty winds lately.

I would go for a small depower - Access, Outlaw or Apex

Same answer as last week. 4m Access is what I use for 20+ winds.

Thanx KiteNH for the Reminder LOL. I know I posted that last week but have no idea how to find it. It got shuffled in the mix with the posts from the
returnee's from NABX :wee:

I think that there are some days when there is no kite that is going to make it work in my opinion. When its blowing 8-30 mph or so like it was today
(around here) then its just too gusty to have any fun. But I do like the 4m Access for higher winds in general.

YA I am def leaning towards the 4m Access. Thanks for the Advice. need to get some funds and a good deal, since it won't be used too too much,
Mostly for those high teens into the 20+ gusty conditions . But i dunno latley with these crazy winds :Ange09:

PL kites are my new thing... Loving my 13m Venom. If you havent tried an arc, I recommend doing so. Huge wind range, easy on the flier. I am waiting
patiently for my quiver to be complete (didnt I just say that a few months ago????)

I saw an ikitesurf classified of a brand new 4m Access for $450 that is about a month old. Pretty nice deal if you can deal with the pink color
scheme. Not one of their standard colors from last year.
I wouldn't overlook the 5m Apex II either. Haven't flown it but it retails at just a little less than the Access and might have just a little more
low end for the lulls. Plenty of HQ dealers on this site who could probably advise you on that kite.
