What size kite do you use?

Right now I am using a 7.0 Meter bullet, feels fairly confortable up to about 20 knts, on the beach in a fairly firm sand.

Just wondering what size kites you guys are using in what kind of winds?

edit sorry meant to put this in the kite skating area.. still would be interested to hear what the buggies are using.

This is what I have in the truck today for buggying:

Low wind (6-12 mph): Mac Bego 6m
Good wind (12-20mph): Mac Bego 4m
Really ripping winds (25+) 1.5m Flexifoil Bullet

I'm still waiting for my new 3m & 4.9m Blades :sniff:

Terrablade - did you ever get that 10.5m Blade sorted out??

Hi Davinch,

I returned it.. No good without brakes in light winds i think. At minimum needed a kite with brakes.

Thanks for remembering!!!!!

15 meter phantom 90% of the time, if its blowing over 30 then i switch to a 9m phantom. If it blowing over 45 then i go to npw 3m on handles no lines..............aj
