Where are the waves?
Is there a 2012 RPM video with waves? _________________ --------------------------------

Slingy could send one to Kauai and Tom check could give it a solid test in the waves! That I my vote for a legit test:-)!

Don't worry I tested it in the waves...
7m and 9m are my favorites.
The video was more or less base around Youri and what he has done with the kite. As we all know the kite works in almost all conditions but Youri is all Freestyle and that's what he wanted the video to be about. There will be more RPM videos coming out in the next couple weeks from the rest of your Global Team. Alex Fox should be the first to drop a bomb..
Plus I'll have the "Baja Fog" video releasing soon!

Question for Shymac, but anyone else could chime in.
Would a 7m, 10m and 14m be an optimum 3 kite quiver to cover the 15 to 30 knot wind range for coastal kitesurfing?
I like to minimize equipment and go with only 3 kites. I weigh 185 lbs, 6' -1" and ride surfboards for the most part, but occasionally ride a twintip in storm wind slop. Currently riding 8, 10, 14 RPMs and am pretty happy with that spread, but would like to maybe replace the 8 with just a 7 and not create a wind range gap that is not properly filled with a kite.
By the way I love my 10m and would like it to be my bread and butter kite that everything else is designed around.

@Windian That 3 kite combo would work out just fine! The 7m is 10m is butter and the 14 is your work horse. (+-)15-35kt easy...
T-check.... Who's this kuk! ha.. Well I might have to take you up on that demo! Show you how to rig it up proper...
