what do you want to know?
watch the instructional video that comes with the kite (if not download it from kitewatch.com - they should have it)
also check out games.groups.yahoo.com/group/arcusers
you should be able to find answers to most of your questions there
good luck and enjoy,,, theyre really great kites

Hey Mikke, thanks for the links...
One of the questions I have is: I weigh 220 Lbs. (99kilo) and my gorilla II kite is 13m. Will I be able to surf with this kite?
Thanks for any advise...

saw you joined arcusers,,, good for you
to keep it short: ofcourse you can surf with your g13! youll be planing a little later than a guy on 70 kg for sure... but,,, you will hold down more
wind than those annoying featherweights, and thats when arcs are fun!
take a look at mel's excel chart (to be found on the arcusers forum in the "files" section) - just punch in weight and see the windrage
for your g13,,, i find it to be a fairly decent guide...
anyway,,, im sure some of the more experienced guys on the forum will help
good luck ~ mikkel

Hi,
I recently got a 15mtr guerilla2. It generates lots of lift and a tremendous amount of power.
When the wind is hitting 15mph, I can get planing with this kite no problem. I'm guessing that I weigh around 13 stone. Although, I have a mate who
is a fair bit heavier than I am... He was getting huge airs off the beach ( again, was blowing 15-20 mph).
That being said, if the wind is lower than 15, I generally can't kitesurf. IMHO, the guerilla is brilliant in higher winds and has a huge amount of
depower. Although if you don't respect this kite it can bite you in the ass!
