12 or 15 synergy
12m or 15 synergy?
-Gusty inland winds
-I weigh 130 lbs
-Fly in winds ranging from 12-20 knots with lots of gusts (the gusts may be 10-15 knots greater than the actual wind speed)
-I don't mind trimming the kite down all the way and changing all the settings on those high wind days
-Using it for land and water
I know I posted this topic before but I really wanted to see it in a poll and I still can't seem to figure out which one would be best.
-08 Best Nemesis HP 14m
-07 North Rhino 10m
-05 Best Nemesis 10m
-04 Slingshot Fuel 13m
-05 Flexi Storm 8m, 10m, 12m, 14m (FOR SALE!!)
-05 Naish 5.5m (FOR SALE!!)

you are too light for a 15m. not a matter of choice. pure physics. in 15-20 the 12m will be a lot for you to hold down
