tallscott Posted November 17, 2005 Report Posted November 17, 2005 currently landboarding with blade iii 6.6. looking to purchase a new depowerable kite for landboarding and to start snowkiting in the winter in scotland. weighing in at 97kg i'm not a small chap so need the bigger kites to get me up up n away. Sabre 11.5 v Vemon 16 which would be better for the move to snowkiting?? any other ideas greatfully accepted..... Scotty Quote
Flexigirl Posted November 17, 2005 Report Posted November 17, 2005 Check out windthings they have a demo 11.5 sabre to have a go with and i know Stuart has used the 9.5m on the snow locally and liked it they also do venoms just so you know im not biased Quote
makka Posted November 18, 2005 Report Posted November 18, 2005 Could be better off getting one made for snow kiting then use it with the land board anyway, snowkiting wind tends to be slightly different to normal wind due to doing it in the mountains. Quote
usa Posted November 19, 2005 Report Posted November 19, 2005 ..the AEROS GYRO II could also be a solution for you, it´s made especially for snowkiting. Quote
Madcap Posted November 19, 2005 Report Posted November 19, 2005 ...I guess the OZONE FRENZY could also be a solution for you. They have been developing it especially for snowkiting trough four generations. http://www.flyozone.com/ozkites/kframe.htm Quote
Biff Posted November 20, 2005 Report Posted November 20, 2005 I'm in pretty much exactly the same position but am between the frenzy and the venom. I can't decide between the easy launching/packing etc of the frenzy and the fact the venom is water re-launchable which could come in handy in summer! :confused: Think i'll go flip a coin. Quote
Hannay Posted November 20, 2005 Report Posted November 20, 2005 I will be back in Scotland in the Aviemore region over christmas and new year and will have the new Frenzy 06 models with me, if you want to meet, if there is snow then then send me a mail and I will happily give you a test.
