Hi Muthergoose, no, I was not on the trip. I was flying the drone My buddy Steve is the one flying it. It looks like he was having a blast considering how light the wind was. My guess is that it was between 9 and 12mph at best yesterday. muthergoose Since 14 Oct 2013 169 Posts East Couve Stoked Fri Apr 17, 15 10:46 am     wow thats impressive, have been trying to decide about a new light wind kite, was kicking around the solo, the fat lady, and the naish fly, never even thought about the trip cause its smaller sromano1995 Since 22 May 2013 240 Posts Portland Stoked Fri Apr 17, 15 10:53 am     Other kites to consider are the Cabrinha Contra and the Slingshot Turbine. I was riding my 15m Contra later in the evening yesterday and the wind was even lighter: no more than 10mph but still had fun. Most people would go with 17m though. muthergoose Since 14 Oct 2013 169 Posts East Couve Stoked Fri Apr 17, 15 10:56 am     ok will do, thanks. I guess id need a cabrinha bar for that,,,only downside to flying cabrinha if you fly other kites to? chrissmack Since 08 Jun 2005 515 Posts portland Addicted Fri Apr 17, 15 10:58 am     new light wind kites? the 2004 17m fuel is still rockin..... macgruber Since 06 Dec 2011 490 Posts SE PDX volcano Obsessed Fri Apr 17, 15 10:18 pm     Rooster has beach again.
