Big depower
Ok, I need something big to use as a one kite quiver for winter. I'm 250lbs, can fly anything on handles, but looking for a bar to snowkite with.
Things I do not want, not even for free.
1. Any Flysurfer, way to much going on there, pulleys and mixer test etc.
2. Anything I have to inflate.
3. Anything with spars in pockets.
Looking for 0 - 15mph rang as that's the usual wing we get
here
So let's see what is left...lol
Thanks

Sounds like you need a magic genie to grant all of your unfulfilled wishes and a magic kite launcher/blo-job machine!

I think it is just the times were so tight couldn't buy a set of lines right now regarding Maven's kite but back on topic someone told me to just go
by the wind speed for snow kiting as weight has less impact on kite size not sure how accurate this is?

I was envisioning an HQ Montana in 12.5m or equivalent. Meets all your demands. The M6 is an awesome kite. The Matrix deserves a look as well, and
had 15m.

Dude, you're gonna want something 15m PLUS to be happy in light winds around here. Flysurfer might be your only option. Unless of course you grab one
of the new Frenzy Ultralites but they only go to 13m. Doubt you'll find the power you've come to expect in a 13. Still, if you do I wanna see ; )
No thoughts of a big Blaze 2? I heard you've got connections :D

this has alot going here. and to really help, heres the answer and access to all these delights.
blo job access is alot like arc mastery , its an exchange not servitude....no magic to want for, just intent . and you will be blessed til your
bonez aches.
they both require a "pilot" where giving and receiving pheeds the system.
and the matrixx 15m is not a bad choice either ..certainly has given me a good wet ride

Some toys need to be properly inflated before launch. If they're not no one's going to have as much as fun as they had planned.
I'm sure there's a video somewhere on the internet on how to do that. Just google it.

wrestle/spar and crap free = fixed bridle, some cant fly them and have to fly on bars....lol
Ozone got the stuff I need, no crap and fiddling/inflation/spars and you are good to go. Thanks for all the advice :karate:

If you have a 10m fixed bridle than a 13m Ozone de-power will not be much more power for you. The advantage will be that you will have a real kite now

It's not like after 50+ hours of dedication you won't be a katana wielding samurai with that thing....
what you're saying is you don't want to try anything complicated, but want all the benefits.
practice makes perfect.
a 13m frenzy is more a freestyle tool for people who are nutters...
Not a low wind kite.

From my bit of searching I think that you will want to keep that 12.5 in the bag ?
In those all too common days when all you are trying to do is avoid being skunked by winds gusting to 3 I haven't found a depower ( accept SA ) that
serves up the power. The large FB seem to rule in that wind? About the time your 12.5 gets too much you should be able to go to your Blaze depower ?
Or an Ozone ??
I am not saying don't get a big depower just don't leave the 12.5 at home !
You should contact Phillipe at www.airtimeboardsports.com or Kent at www.awindofchange.com with your best price from GB . They just might be able to match it?
