What amount of wind Gust is ok?
G'day all.

I know this has been answered before but the question was asked by much lighter riders.

I'm new to the sport, only had 5 or so sessions and am practicing water starts and riding down and up wind. Im climbing the walls to get out as much as possible but im unsure as to what level of gusting is safe. Im told my gear maxes out at around 25knts but was wondering how much i need to worry about the gap between average wind and the gust?

I've got 2016 cab Switch Blade 12m with cab spectrum 144 board. I weigh 87kgs.

Currently im seeing winds around 15knts gusting to 22-25knts, significant jump... Should i just get out there or safety first and wait for more consistent wind?

Thanks in advance for advice.

Cheers
