almost no info on this kite.

Knots: 11-19
MPH: 13-22
KM/H: 20-35
M/S: 6-10

Caveat: Please take all wind range specifications with a boulder of salt factoring in:
Pilot experience
Pilot Weight
Insurance coverage
Tendencies towards questionable activities (natural born thrillseeker quotient).
And for goodness sake, read this.

Sam, your are so right about the points. It was one of the questions asked at WW and Jibe from some of the public that were looking at the sport. It
would be nice to have a one or the other type of gauge, but that isnt going to happen. Only real gauge is a person that has a set of the kites to know
when the next size up or down is needed.
Appex buggy, Libre hardcore buggies.
Flexboardz. Blokarts.
PKD Century Soulflys. NPW's. Nasa Stars.
A few other less flown oddballs,
Line sets from 10" to 328" or 2m to 100m.
worlds only AQR that works.
North American distributor for PKD.

YUP, 22mph with a 14m C kite . I know I'm not going there !
Those numbers look like they are water specific. I think you can work a ride out of that kite closer to 10mph ( on land for sure ) and I would be
putting it down or hitting the water around 18mph. I am small and only like to ride a well powered rather than over powered. Top wind speed really is
a personal thing.
If this kite isn't 5th line you should consider adding one. If this is your 1st kite you may have bought trouble ? Safety and relaunch improved
greatly around 2005.
