I'm about the same weight and height, and I would say you would need a good amount of wind with that combo. A bigger board will help lower the wind requirements, but practice will help more
I agree, my shiva's valves are so stiff that it is really hard work pumping it up. They really need to goto a system like cabrina. Has anyone cut the valve off and replaced it with a stick on Boston valve?
Yes it should fly on almost any 4 equal line length bar. However you would be well advised to try the safety in light winds before going out in anger with it.
I'm using a 2012 proton with a cabrina bar
I'd just like to safe thank you to Sam for the excellent deal on the proton and quick delivery. All went very smoothly and from my experience I would recommend him.
