Naish Cult 13.5m Wind Range???

[Teabag]

Hi all, I finally completed my quiver of "modern" kites with the Naish Cult 13.5M , but unfortunately I can't find any information about the average wind range it has. I Google it and read random links/forums for a couple of hours but only questions asking about the wind range came up, no answers, and unfortunately Naish is too lazy to put an "average" wind range chart on their products.

I know that it depends of the rider weight/skills/board size but they still should put an average wind chart like most brands do.

Anyway, if anyone on here can find the wind range for the Cult 13.5 (08-09 doesn’t matter) please let me know!!! (I’m 180 lbs/Beg-Int)
Especially in the higher end spectrum, I do not want to kill myself trying it out!!!

Just guesstimating but I would say 10-22 or so...
I have been out on my 8m and watched someone hold down a 14 so I guess its quite variable. Im guessing its your biggest kite so why does high end matter?

I wanted to know more about high end for safety. I didn’t want to start kiting in let’s say 17 kts and then the wind picking up to 24-25 kts; meaning bye bye kite or bye bye me.

My friend and I are going to Cozumel for 2 weeks, we bring 4 kites:
10M Rebel 2008 - 12M Wipika Airblast 2002 - Naish Cult 13.5M 2009 and Naish Aero 16m 2003.

I guess we did a big mistake thinking that we were going over there with a 10m-12m-13.5m-16m since the newer Rebel 08 10m and Cult 09 13.5m probably have a bigger low/high end performance & wind range than the older Airblast 12m / Aero 16m respectiveley ...

Since I am the heaviest, I will be the one riding the 13.5M Cult while he is riding the 12M Airblast or the 10M North which is why I was worried about the high end.

Thanks for the info, Ian
