if you're prepared to try something different a 15m flysurfer psycho 4 is to go. Bar pressure is adjustable from almost zero to moderate.

try ozone light ive heard the 14 fly,s great i have a rev 15 but find it a bit to big and it slower than my 11 rev when it gets light

Hi HAAK,

The 14m Ozone Light XC gets my vote too. A nice light wind kite that's easy to use and quite peppy for a big kite. Bar pressure is light to moderate (depending on what you're used to).

They also make a nice wave kite!

Good winds,

Most people say the OS kite has the lightest bar pressure they have felt.
I have a an exdemo 14m OS going cheap.

If you're a big bloke and ride fast.
15m Express is a flat arced 3 strut kite. It has dynamic characteristics for a big kite.

Lately some lucky people have been scoring kites at exceptional prices.

Griffin kites have really good low end performance and light bar pressure. Also, they are really well made, come with a 6 month warranty, and they're a fair bit cheaper than most other kites out there. Check em out at www.griffinkiteboarding.com.au

high as a kite said...

Is there such a beast?

I currently have a great light wind combo but the bar pressure is to heavy for my tennis elbows. T3 14m and Glide. Have tried the 1:1 setting, hate it.

I'm loooking for a light wind kite with light bar pressure that can get me going in sub 10 knots, no larger than a 14m.

Any feed back would be appreciated.

How much do you weigh?
Sub 10 knots is a big ask of any 14M kite unless you are quite light.
I ride in light winds a lot and have a large range of kites and boards to choose from
my current favourite is the 14M Ozone Light XC, it will get me going upwind and having fun from around 10 -12 knots, under that and I'm not really interested anymore, the winds are too fickle sub 10 knots, there is always lulls and thats when you can find a big kite down in the water and no way of relaunching it, which is not my idea of fun anymore.
Longer lines helps, I reckon they need to be around 30-34M though to really get an advanatage from the bigger wind window.
The Light works well with long lines, some slower kites don't.

This years CB IDS 16M is a kite that would work with longer lines and would get you going from around 9-10 knots, if you are average weight.
I'm 74 kg, my bigger light wind boards are Underground Zephyr 1.44x46 or Switch 1.44 x44, the glide has a 1-2 knot better bottom end than the boards I ride.

The Light XC 14M has at least 3-4 knots better bottom end than the Edge RX 2009.

I wonder what this new kite will bring? Looks interesting.

Lolo @ 110 KG kept upwind at 25 knots... WHOOPEEE

Tried the Airush Vapor II 12m which got going early-ish (around 13 kts) and it had waaayyy light bar pressure (too light for my liking as i am used to C kites). I'd assume the bigger sizes are light-ish too and may be worth checking out.

Nothing beats the Flysurfer Speed2 for lightwind performance.

AND you can water relaunch - even from LE down!

Don't have to believe me - try one for yourself!!!! Always more than happy to let people test fly them.

I didn't see any other kites when I was out yesterday @ Scarbs?

D, why do you prefer the Pulse2 to the Psycho4???? Must say I'm surprised.
