It was windy today.... better than last week though... less rain in the AM...
The sensor said winds were never above 30...but they made it up there in the gusts...
Today I got to ride the 10m Turbo Diesel and 9m Switchblade back to back. Both are great kites...
The TD is more sensitive.... nimble, and has a good low and top end.... so fast it takes some skill to fly....
The SB is stable, easy to fly, and has a decent range... The SB flies more like a C kite.. but still has the bow benefits... not quite as fast as the TD, but still totally adequate... not a slow kite, just more stable... seems like an ideal kite for people getting started...
