As I'm finding out, put a B2 Std up and the stronger the wind gets, the bigger my smile is.

Hey Rob !

My sentiments exactly. I've never had so much fun with a kite, as I do with my B2, and I have never flown it with anything, other than "black race rods" and 50# LPG (usually 85 - 100 foot, but I've also got 50 & 120 foot lengths that get used on occasion). I ordered the kite with the race rod upgrade, and I have never really seen the need to change. Did I mention I love the speed !!

(I suppose this should be under another topic, but I couldn't help commenting. We'll have Matt really messed up, if we keep talking about these B2's) :cat_lol:

<br />I got my B2 2nd hand, thanks Tak!, and I mostly have the 2 wrap in. I use #90 with that and #150 with the 3 wrap in. I'm surprised at the #50 line, most shops recommend #150! <br /><br /><br />Tapatalk for iPhone.

150# ? Where did you see that? Because of the size, you can get away with the lighter 50# lines, especially in medium winds! I used to substitute my son's Rev2 into my old Rev1 setup in really high winds and that was 150#, but that was all I had at the time! Last summer at WSIKF I flew it on 90# no problem!! Lighter lines bring out the performance features of the sail, IMHO!!

Well I will have a triple set soon.

B series Standard - MidVent - Vent.

I would love to see a "Production XtraVent B series" Not a Pro, but a lower cost XtraVent in all the Regular B Series Colours.

I think the Standard and the Vent Make a great starting pair though.

Make sure you have some place set up, before you get the indoor! Outdoor season is getting ready to go full out and it really depends on the wind condition, whether the xtra-vent is needed! That said, we've been using the xtra a lot in the last few weeks!!

I don't know if its been mentioned but your full sail with the race frame fly's fairly well indoors. Just a thought... So with just the std and vented you've got about a 30 mph wind range with the 3 frames, 90#, 150# and a couple short lite line sets.
