Sure thing change new kites come and go. Boards length and width.
But what works well will allways work , changing kite means a huge learning curve will have to be overcome. Most people have no clue what am doing and can make easy excuses. Even ridding with top pros thier a little bothersome at times.
Sure its easy for me to go around you but what a kook you are.
today was pritty normal wind picked up about 4pm the crew was in force.
One guy said it was like off roading, well I rode about two miles upwind found a insane cove super glassy and a amazing wave rolling throu a sand bar. A real flash I must say ,
what I am doing is riding every inch of rivers edge for miles, most all ducks are wadding back and forth doing little jumps and flapping thier wings in the same spot. Thats what you get if you ride a small kite. call me fat, what ever after 17nts I can ride almost any kite 10m and up. with that 17m and a 181 twin tip I can go upwind with one finger, and in that sheltered cove I needed that monster parrasail.

First thing I never like about kiters is they say you should ride this board and not that. Its all about style and the board you ride plays heavy on your style, I call all people that ride race boards test monkey, race board are a joke and you should be the first monkey to the moon. Style that what matters, and who has more fun.
In my book most people really are bobos going back and forth, I get in the water and am gone you will not see me any more.
Then they cry about kite size and say big kites are slow, shit take that kite out in 17nts termal wind and tell me its slow. Most people are so borring, I'd go crazy back and forth like a dog on a runner cable, please.
Second thing I never liked was the trips, just ride your home spot its way better and more consistant, If its not on, fix the shed, play with your dog, clean up, or get your gear ready for when its going to be windy , or just fly your trainer kite, I forgot you are too good for a trainer kite, or a helmet and lifevest, bobo, big bobo.
The more videos of those trips I watch the more I like my home spots, and saves a ton of money to try new gear, witch your old gear was better in some way.

If you are a fuel rider, am pritty sure you will like the Rpm on the wake setting. I would dirrectly move that front bridle line, thats my back up kite<if it really nukin> 10m 2009 rpm.
O.k. yes am pimpin BWS surf right now. Great kite, and no its nothing like a 2010 octane. Sure I would ride BWS If it was windy enough or they flip me a 12m but I only have a 6m and 10m.
There sizin is confussing that 10m like a 12-13m and 6m is a 8m? The power of the wilson is a learning curve, though when you blow up, that kite is just over head waiting, kind of wierd and nice if your out in six to ten foot surf. Right now am in buenos aries and its been everyday for awhile now.<no wetsuit> This year been a lot of wind, but all the days I could catch where 17knts or less and opted other kites. Let some other people ride Bens kites. I do believe my best tube ride really deep and calm droping in an bottom turn, was on that wilson 10m. I got really deep on other set ups but comming in from the flats, not droping down the face. <david P.>

Hey Secret Agent, are you colluding with the Dangler and trying to corner the "haters" market? "Stop the insanity" and the white collar crime tactics... and wasting your energy with small kite snob masses. They all don't realize that some of the most glassy sessions on the ocean are 16 meter c kite and up or 13 meter bridal kite and up. Wind never gets strong enough to muddle up the wave sets; their loss and our gain. Your preaching upon deaf ears.

Glad you scored! Where are you riding right now?
