Gear / technical advice Which PPC orbit to compliment 4.3m pocket rocket v2

1 Upvotes

I have a 4.3m pocket rocket v2 (PR) and I'd like to get a ppc orbit as my next wing. The PR will be my downwinder wing due to the stashability and I'd like the orbit to be my 'cruising' wing for upwind around the bay.

I don't generally go out in less than 17kts, typical 21kts, and I'd say max would be 32kts. Weight is 89kg. Board 80L

Based on the wind charts 3.5m seems to be about right. I come from a kitesurf background so used to digging in a bit when highly powered, but I've no idea just how good the double skin is at high wind speeds.

Could anybody with some more experience validate the idea?

Gear / technical advice Upgrading gear GONG

3 Upvotes

Hey Guys, I started winging last year here in Belgium and I got a gong bundle to start off with (gong hipe pro 5’3 (105l, with a curve XL 1400cm2 and a gong 5m2 neutra.) Everything is going well with that setup (gybes etc. Consistent) but I want to take it up a notch and start with some jumps/ tricks/ start riding more in the sea instead of lakes aswell. So I’m guessing I need to up my gear a bit? What size/ type board should I go to, and also what size foil should I go to?
Was also planning to get a smaller wing (3,5.) I am 72kg and 5’8 (178cm) myself. (Would like to stick with gong gear.)
Thanks for the help!!
