EH Ovandos are very powerful, fast kites...........c kite perform from a flat SLE design.................add 3 sizes up to the kite you
purchase..............my 13 has better lower end and grunt than my 15m SS Rev 2. Range/depower are not the best but if your looking for a low wind
inflato the 13 and 11 are great choices depending on your weight. I can stay upwind in waves and current in 10/11 kts on my 13 with the 159 Door or
directional. Bar throw is short @ 9.5 inches so shes a very power on kite but does turn quick even in lower winds. Goes upwind very well, with nice
pop and float. If your under 180lbs Id recommend the 11, over 180 go for the 13. Eric Herten recommends this kite for experienced pilots so not a good
sail to learn on........if you have water/kite skills a very good choice..................... I have the OD green, black, brown design and it looks
very cool...................
Looking at your quiver what size were you looking at.......19m Charger/12m P2 would be about the same as 13m Ovando on water or close enough basically
alot of overlap. with the 11m not far behind. Maybe a 7m Ovando to take you from the high teens to mid twenties..........dont you hate decisions, good
luck!
