I have a 3.5 North Mode. Somedays it is a too big wind. What are your suggestion. Thanks

In thin size range, all wings are good enough ;o) Specially in stiffness questions ...

I find the Ozone wings (Flow and Flux) have very good range, which is a good feature for gusty conditions. Flow shifts range down (more low end) and Flux shifts range up (more high end), but both have a wide range. Uber stiff wings can be pretty rough in gusty conditions because they translate all the power into your body, so you want something that has a little bit of well engineered flex built in. I ride the 3m Flow between 20- high 30 knots. Would be better off with a smaller size at the high end of that range but its still manageable for me.

The North Mode and mode pro have imo a very good high end range/ on par with my Ozone Flux. I doubt a 3m will add a lot to that in gusty conditions unless you are a lighter rider.
