Hi Ant,
Yep have tried it with Race in winds around 14/18 all good.
Just change to the 3's as the race starts over powering and getting twitchy.
If the winds in the 25's and up! leave the race in the bag.
It will not take long before the verts blow.
I know how you Jersey crew love your flamed rods!
If you are trying to make an extra vent lighter...erm fly a full vent!
Had one of the first prototypes flying in 6mph on race and 50lb lines.
(WHy? ..because you know someone will ask)
Only trouble was it would only climb to about 60% of the window. It was rather funny.
It was the little train that couldn't.
But I think that wind speed is covered somewhere else in the product range.LOL.

The Xtra vent will be added to the B-Series Colorizer I assume?

Ooops, ha ha! I had promised I'd comment on MY experience with the XTRA a couple of weekends ago in Victoria. Yes, I did not manage to try one at all beforehand however, when Steve I pulled up to Clover Point for the 1st Annual Victoria Halloween Kite Festival (always held on a wednesday), we found it to be a pretty stiff breeze howling in off the water. I'd guess it was roughly 20 mph for an hour or so.

And, I must say, it's one awesome kite to fly in high winds. It felt firm on the end of the line, but, in the Bazzer tradition, it also has a light in the loafers kind of feel too.

Well, ok, maybe not but, it sure was a smooth flying kite. In fact, if I had the wind to support it, I'd likely fly nothing else, it was just that smooth with whatever you put it through.

Well done Bazzer!
