Questions for Big Mama users ...........

I am thinking of getting Big Mama ....
My 11m Zulu is not quite powerful for those summer winds ....

I am 196lbs beginner using 145x43 board

In what wind range I can expect that Big Mama will get me going ???
Is it good for beginners ???
Any cons that will make me stay away from that kite ???

Please ... help me make decision ....

nice choice........... When I weighed 200 I could go on my 12m Wainman Boss in 12kts using my 159 door in waves and ocean current...........at your level 13/14 knots...........once your skillz improve and you add a low wind board or directional 10 to 12 on standard 24m lines...................go to 27m lines 10 kts should be doable................
