Go to the flexifoil forum and watch some of the videos of the kite skiers in the mountains or the surfers on the high wind days.
There is a huge advantage to jumping in the mountains where the wind blows up the slopes you really get lift that you otherwise can't find on a
landboard, buggy or static flying.
Surfers can catch huge air too if they are flying overpowered but kiting in the mountains rules for high air and long floaty jumps.
Check out Air Evolution kites - those guys seem to spend more time in the air then on the ground.

Yeah a 7m in 25 mph winds is def pushing the envelope! You def have a sturdy set my freind! 12 to 14 foot on my Blade IV 4.9 in 20 plus mph winds.
About 10-12 feet on my Bego 600 and 8-10 feet on my Bego 400. I recently installed Ronstan pulleys on the 400 and seems to have uped the hp in lighter
winds so looking for that higher wind day to confirm it! as usual.........................................stoaked
