Getting ready to plunge

04 September 2012 - 04:45 PM

Hi everyone,

My name is Jeff, and I recently got hooked on sport kites. I've drooling over the Rev's for a while and am ready to take the plunge, but I am a bit confused. So before I place an order, would the Rev Community help me understand a few things? Below is an email excerpt that I send to the vendor and I'm hoping you can help me decide as well.

My wind conditions up here in Northern California can vary greatly. If I head to the San Francisco coast or the Berkeley Marina (where the BKF is held annually), the gusts can vary greatly, anywhere from 5-20mph. But often times, I'll be flying inland where the wind is no more than 10mph. Based on my descriptions, can you help me with some of my questions: 1)Would you recommend a full sail or a mid vent?2)Would you recommend an upgrade to the race frame? If so, which frame to replace, the 2 wrap or the 3 wrap?3)What length of line set do you recommend as the first lineset to learn on? Thank you very much,-Jeff

p.s. I recently registered on kitelife under the same screen name.
