L o Harry , should be fine for boards and buggies but be carefull jumping with it , small kites can tend to drop you alot faster than you or your ankles would like . bigger kite lighter wind is a better recipe for jumping but only after you know what you're doing. Gribble.

How's that kite flyin? Please let us know.

Well said. I have a 3.6 I like for inland, less than perfect wind. Easy to cruise around on the board, but not as catostrophic if you encounter a gust. I was flying my 7 meter last summer, riding the mountainbaord in a park. The wind was a bit gusty. I hit a dead spot and then a hard gust. I was yanked off the board and twisted my ankle pretty bad coming out of the bindings. I'm now a lot more careful about the bigger kites in rough air.
