The smaller the kite, the more wind is required for jumping. Additionally, smaller kites in high wind fly very fast and often erratically causing a
sudden burst - then release of power.
It is better to use a large kite in lighter wind (5m+ in 15mph-). This offers more stable lofting and gentler landings.
