Hi,

I find my 9m and 12m Airush Ultras much lighter on the bar than my Airush Wave 7m (2017).
Any suggestions for a 7m kite for foiling that has lower bar pressure? Not really keen to buy an Ultra for such windy conditions, rather use a 3 strut kite.

thanks

What wind range are you aiming for?

I'm riding a 7m Union (v1) which seems to work pretty well from 13 knots and up. Has variable bar pressure settings on the kite so you can adjust the pressure. I prefer the light bar pressure settings all the time anyway. Might be worth a look as you have airush kites already?

Hmm, depending on how you're riding, 7m isn't that windy - unless you're using footstraps and going for speed?

I use strutless kites (strapless), 9m up to 14 knots, 7m up to 17 knots, 5.5m up to 20 knots, 3.5m up to about 28 knots, then I stop foiling. If you like the ultra buy some small ones I'd say.
