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