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.

Hi Davinch,
I returned it.. No good without brakes in light winds i think. At minimum needed a kite with brakes.
Thanks for remembering!!!!!
