Neil, and new 20 meter C kites!!

Ive got to agree with your postings neil. 20 meter C kites are the dogs. My only C kite is a 20 meter Caution spitfire, and I love it. It absolutley destroys a sea breeze. Addmitedly Im well over powered by 13-14 knots, but who cares!!!!!!

hopefully a light wind monster . . . .

will suit you 'heavier pie consuming professionals'- extract from cabrinha website:

Q: Why the new sizing?
A: The new sizing reflects the gains we‚Äôve made in performance. For most people in the world a 14 meter kite can be used as their largest kite. The 14 has the best weight to power production ratio. I would only recommend the 17 meter for someone who has a heavier build or someone who just likes a lot of power.
