Advice for next kite?
I'm not going to run out and buy another kite right yet, but when the time comes to expand my quiver, I'd like to have a better idea of what I'd like.
I'm thinking about a 16m Scorpion... this was Adam's recommendation.
My issue right now is the 13m Venom. It's right in the middle of sizes. It's neither a low nor high wind engine. I'll have to get around that
somehow... I'm very light. 125 lbs. or so. My thinking with the Scorpion was I could use the 16 as my low wind kite, as I can hold down my 13m Venom
up to 22 mph. Any higher than that and I can use a small fixed bridle. Plus, I've been told that Scorpions are sweet kites... great for boosting big.
Does this sound okay? Any advice? Thanks!

I eat a steady 6000 calories per day and I have no idea where it goes. I have a hypersonic metabolism :bouncy: Lots of energy... Can't you tell?

 Yeah....wait till you hit 30..... you won't have that problem anymore. I could
not put on a pound until I hit my late 20's. Enjoy while it lasts....
On the kite issue.....since you are not going to buy for awhile look at the Flysurfer kites. They have a very wide wind range and might be a good
solution for you.....Expensive....but good.
