2006 Quiver

Just wondering what people are using for bow/C quiver. Specifically the Ion.

My 2006 quiver is a 15m Ion and a 9m Waroo. I have 2005 12m and 16m North Rhinos in the garage as well, but they are probably staying in the bag or getting sold, the way these flat kites are performing. I am using the recommended bars from Flexi and Best for each flat kite and I think the stock bars add to their performance. I may end up replacing the 9m Waroo with a 9m Ion for the sake of keeping things uniform, but I want a chance to fly the 9m Ion first.

The kites complement the following boards--a 118 Gaasta Vision, a Wipikia Abreu (130 cm or so), and a Slingshot Glide. If I needed to, I could lose the Vision, but it is too outstanding in high wind for me to part with it.

I have been able to fly the Waroo in close to 10 on the Glide (in glass with no current), but that was with skipping dinner, moving the kite like crazy, and going one foot upwind each tack. My plan is to use the 15m Ion up to 17 mph or so, then rig the 9m Waroo. I ride in flat water most of the time. Current might shift the numbers a bit, but I still think I am going to be a two-kite dude for a while.

I am using a 15m Ion and a 9m Answer as my two kite quiver as well.
With a good light wind board and a good high wind board, I can make them work in about 10-40kts

Using a 12m Shockwave and a 19m Fuel C kite which I plan to replace with a 17m Cabrinha Contra bow as soon as they come out. Have a 148 and 169 litewave, plus a surfboard. I'm also at 200lbs though.

My quiver consists of an 18m Airush Lift, 14m Airush Flow and 12m Naish Boxer. Boards include LF Drop 136 and an older Slingshot LFT (167 I think). I also weigh 205, on a good day.

As of today(I change gear a lot!): 16m,13m,10m RRD Type HIR, and my "old reliable" 6.5m Cabrinha Nitro for those nukin days. Ask me in two weeks, I may be on something else...I'm eyeing those Cautions Answers!!!! Specifically the 12m to go along with a surfboard for the upcoming summer sea breezes...

I want to make sure if I really want a big board. Im close to throwing in the towel on the 152. I love that thing. Im just not sure if i can fork out that money right now. Maybe if i sell my slingshot 130 I can
