kitebuzz Posted December 6, 2003 Report Posted December 6, 2003 i know that there has been alot of disscussion about the G-arc but i have sifted through the old threads but i still have a question. What is the wind range for the 10,13,15,and 18? What is the turning like on all the models? thanks Chris Quote
FuhQall Posted December 6, 2003 Report Posted December 6, 2003 10 - force 5/6.5 13 - force 4.5/5.5 15 - force 4/5 18 - force 3/4.5 all turn quickly and accurately in the right wind conditions, they turn even faster when slightly over-powered If you use the 18 in the lowest wind range it will turn very slowly and give you one hell of a workout. I have based the figures above on my weight (85kg's) and the wind speed I have used them in, the figures may be way off if you weigh more or weigh less. Quote
KidKernow Posted December 6, 2003 Report Posted December 6, 2003 If you go to http://www.wind-designs.co.uk - and look up the Guerilla - there is a wind chart. Over and out, K.K. Quote

NO WIND Posted December 9, 2003 Report Posted December 9, 2003 They re as slow as a flying cow. They relaunch like a drowned whale. But I love those zippers man...... Quote
Deviant Posted December 9, 2003 Report Posted December 9, 2003 De powered they are slow but power them up and they move alot quicker. I know they arn`t the fastest kite in the world but they are so versatile cause of the wind range. I went for the 13m and havn`t looked back since i`m really happy with it. In all honesty you souldn`t have to water re-launch cause they are so stable, i have never crashed mine and believe me i`ve had my fare share of offs!! Quote
CoyoteBoy Posted December 9, 2003 Report Posted December 9, 2003 Originally posted by NO WIND They re as slow as a flying cow. I presume you're comparing it with a high AR ram air? In comparison with LEIs they arent far off at all. They relaunch like a drowned whale. But I love those zippers man...... You shouldnt have to relaunch them?! Its almost unheard of to ditch a G, and if you know what you are doing a relaunch is as easy as an LEI, if not easier. I suggest you get more practice! Quote

Thanx for the advice though. I could use a G-arc as a sleeping bag for rainy nights. Quote
bushflyer Posted December 10, 2003 Report Posted December 10, 2003 stirring it up no wind? i wonder why (hmmm KOBRA&diablo) Quote
CoyoteBoy Posted December 10, 2003 Report Posted December 10, 2003 Yeah, I do like them. I prefer my S-arcs over my LEIs and I know the G's are far more advanced than the S's in every way. J Quote
Tim186 Posted December 10, 2003 Report Posted December 10, 2003 is it possible to use G-Arcs on land, i know that you cant use LEIs on land because of the tube (well you can but not advisable) does the same apply to G-Arcs or are you able to use them on land with a landboard, because i want to get into kitesurfing later on in the year and i dont want to buy 3 different kites for different things, i want to be able to use the same kite on land and water like the Flysurfers Quote
Deviant Posted December 10, 2003 Report Posted December 10, 2003 i use mine on l;and and it`s wicked. I brought my g 13 cause i am doing the same as you, learning on land then getting into the water. I fly mine alot on land for jumping and scudding as well as on the board. If you decide to buy one you won`t be dissapionted Quote
Tim186 Posted December 10, 2003 Report Posted December 10, 2003 Thanks alot that was the same size i was thinking of getting. i was thinkin of getting an FS later on in the year after i get better at flying and boarding but the price of them are extremely expensive, especially when you gotta buy a board wetsuit and all the other stuff that comes with kitesurfin Quote
CoyoteBoy Posted December 10, 2003 Report Posted December 10, 2003 I use my s's on land - fun but can be very scary with the sheer pull from them when you ahve less friction than in the water I'll stick to the water i think. I learned with a 4 line foil and moved straight to the water. Quote
