Which my baldy are you flying?

Amazing video Simon. What do you think of the SuSi compared to the XXLite? I currently have a single skin and thinking to get the SuSi. Also I am between the SuSi 16 and 18, which size would you get for 85kg total flying weight? Thanks!

[@SimonHergott]

Thank you! The 18m will be more like a traditional glider. For a mountain descent tool you'll want the 16m. 85kg is around where I sit with my 16, and sometimes heavier depending on extra gear. I wouldn't worry at all about flying at it's top. You'll be stoked on it. Good glide, fast and super agile. Our single surfaces still have their uses for lighter weight, less packing volume days, but the susi will be the wing you'll want for most mountain flights. The skins are amazing for their easy launches and good glides, but when it comes to penetrating any sort of wind they come up wayy short, as I'm sure you know. The susi 16 will cut through a headwind better, with the caveat that it's 600 grams heavier and slightly more packing volume. It's definitely worth the extra grams and volume I'd say. Such a fun wing.

You ripped one of your brake gallery lines :D

[@SimonHergott]

Good eye. I remember looking back, seeing it, and laughing. Luckily it was only 2 lines of the upper cascades. I flew it like that for a month before I tied new ones.

@@SimonHergott yeah, Not that critical in this case 😃
