Tuesday February 17, 2009 - Kahoona 9.5m performed well in light wind

Wind on the beach was blowing 10mph steady sometimes gusted up to 12mph. This is the bottom end of the Kahoona 9.5m for me. When the wind was steady 12mph, I had no problems throwing unhooked tricks and staying upwind. With 10mph, I had to ride the Underground Freewave 5'8" to stay upwind. The 9.5 Kahoona performed very well today in this light wind condition. I took out the Waroo 2009 13m to test the Kahoona 9.5m against it. With the Waroo 2009 13m I was able to ride my FLX 128cm in 10mph and staying upwind. The Kahoona 9.5m performed well staying in the air without any difficulties in 8mph wind while Mike L. had problems keeping his Caution Answer 9m kite up in the air.
