didn't have a guage... but there were occasional whitecaps on the lake! 10-15knots is an educated guess!

It is called an "Extreme 3" or "X3" It's an Aussie boat. Google "Sail Extreme" to know more!

try pulling your main right in, tightening the kite and heading up while moving your weight aft.

higher faster.
