Wind range: for me (73 kg): 15-28 knots comfortably. I have been out in 30 knot winds with 40 knot gusts, which is not comfortable but still doable. Jumping in powered conditions is awesome, easy and controllable.
The water relaunch is so easy that I sometimes drop the kite on the water on purpose to take a rest or to adjust the depower line.
What I don't like:
- The steering lines are mostly slack. This gives low bar pressure, but also a slow response to steering impulse.
- The depower system is kind of awkward. I have a lot of surplus power line and I can't adjust while sailing.
- I could not find any documentation or a decent manual.
- I had to reinforce the stitching of the leading edge.
Overall I am very happy with the kite and although it felt comfortable from the first time I sailed it, every time I go out with it I learn to know it better and discover more subtilities in how to handle it.
