I just recieved some NPWs for my wife to use. I havent used these much other than someone elses. nothing is bigger than a 4m.

How do i tell if its a NPW 5 or 9?

What is a good starting line length (if any at all)?

Short Handles or Long Handles?

Roughly the same windrange as Low / Mid / High AR Fixed Foil?

thx in advance =)

1. npw5 36 bridles npw9 48 bridle lines
2. 100 foot
3. short I have never used long
4. because they have a lower ar maybe a little more wind but it has been several years since I have flown foils so kind of hard to compare

Just remember unlike a foil you need to move your hands down the handles and apply brake or it will not fly well.

FWIW my NPW5 4.9 mtr dosen't pull quite as hard as my PL 3.5 peppper. It also is not as scary as the wind picks up on the gusty days. I put my 9 and 11 year old on it without lines in some pretty good winds and they loved how easy it was to control over a foil.
