At Real in Hatteras this weekend, the two student intermediate team
used a 5 M Waroo over a three day period in winds starting at 25 knots
and ending gusting to 40. I weigh 160; the other guy 190. At no time
were we overpowered. Once up and riding, the sheeting action allowed
smooth, controlled rides. It was quite amazing to look around and see
no other kites out. We are just getting comfortable with getting up
and riding, barely intermediate. Flat kites rule!
