Be careful at the upper end. That 2002 6.4 m kite may in fact have a flat area approaching 1.36 * 6.4 m or closer to 9 m without the potential depowering capability of the Waroo. I don't think they started using actual flat kite areas across the board in labeling kites until 2003. I have an Airblast 6.3 m from the same year, it started to max out at or before 30 kts.

it says on the kite, 6.4 flat, and i think it also said 5.3 projected, something like that,
its definately a small kite, reminded me of scotts kite he was flying at NB in 30 knots, looked like a little blimp

I have a Airush Pilot 6m. Its the smallest size made in the pilot line.
It is cut like a GTO and feels pretty small and is very stable and handles gusts well. I rode an ATV several years ago. It flew bigger than the number, not smaller. In other words, I think Rick is right. I can hold down the little green pilot in 40 fairly easily. I wouldn't want to try that on that ATV :shock: Maybe I am wrong, I really hope I have the kites mixed in my mind Try it in 25 to 30 first, not 40, just to be safe. |

don't be so sure Toby,
I have been able to ride a 7m c kite ( 2001 cabrinha 7m blacktip ) in as low as 18 kts but not higher than 28 kts. I had to switch to a 5.6m after that. The new bow kites actually let you go -20 to +30 easily ( like on my 9m Xbow ) |
