Full respect. An Isonic 122/133 with a 7.5-8.5 actually requires a high level of skill to get the best out of it. Its big kit and I could never get my head around it but I can see many people are stoked on it.
Maybe I am lucky that I have talked with and watched top class kiters, one of them an ex world champion.
They obviously make it look easy and while I would never come close to their standard I believe I could still have more fun on a kite in 10 to 16 knot winds than a windsurfer.
It’s the fact that kiters can get away with very small maneuverable boards in light winds that attract me.
