Hello,

I have Beamer (V) 5m and ozone turbo bar and I'm riding mountain board. I'm riding upwind and next step I want to jump. may I buy bigger fixed bridge or depowerable kites and how can I choose right kite size .

What is the typical wind speed that you will be flying in?

Folks riding mountain board tend to go for depower kites.

There is a 9m Frenzy on here for $450 that may suit your needs depending on your typical winds.

Thanks,

I bought anenometre, I'm measuring wind speed different days, I will tell common range.

Something to be aware of with wind meters is that you are measuring the wind at ground level and often the wind is stronger up higher.

Is the 5m Beamer usually the right size for your typical wind ? If so something like that 9m Frenzy may work well. If it is sometimes too big then get something a bit smaller like maybe the 7m Pulse on here. If it is often too small then something a bit bigger like 10 - 12m may be better?

I have a biased opinion but think the 7m Pulse ( love mine ) on here is an amazing deal on a depower kite.
