I almost downgraded the forecast yesterday based on NOAA nuthin's 15 knot forecast, but I left it at 20-25 knots, and I was wrong. It was windier! The pier was gusting into the low 30s mph all afternoon, around 28 knots on the gusts. I tested the new Best Kahoona 11.5 on 22 meter lines with a twin tip, and then surfboard, and was pleasantly surprised. I will say that this is a VERY grunty kite, with a similar feel to a C kite except for turning faster and more depower. But I think I found the top end for the 11.5 yesterday, and I weigh over 200 pounds these days.

Here's a couple of pics that Codder took, and we have some video on the way!

Anyone ride the 9.5 yet? looks like that may be the one for 20+

Daryl was riding the 9.5 on Monday afternoon at Matanzas in perfect conditions. Let's see if we can get his 2 cents on the subject?

Peter so far the kites have been awesome and we are really impressed. The general consensus from people so far is that they turn a little slower than the Waroo but that's not true, they just require a little more input just like any other Delta kite. They turn fast. I think you'd be really happy with these kites and can't wait to hear your feedback on them.
More pics and vid on the way!
