Calculating a kite's power


I'm looking to replace my Rage 6.0m and trying to fit a kite between my 4.9 and 8.3 Reactors.

So I'm thinking about getting a 6m Yakuza, 6.4 Reactor or 7m Blurr.

Is there a formula or way to calculate the amount of power a particular fixed bridle kite produces (i.e would a 6m Yakuza have the same amount of power as a 7m Blurr). And by power, I'm really interested with forward power, not lateral pull.



Flexifoil Blurr 2.5, Ozone Cult 3.5, Nasa Star 3 4.0 Ozone Yakuza 4.0, PL Reactor 4.9, JoJo RM+ 5.0, Ozone Method 5.0, Ozone Yakuza 6.0, Flexifoil Blade IV 6.5, Nasa Star 3 7.0, PL Vapor 7.8, JoJo RX 8.0 (in route), Flexifoil Blade VIP 8.5, PL Vapor 9.4, Ozone Yakuza 10.0, PL Reactor II 10.8, PL Vapor 16.1, PL Venom II 13, PL Charger 15, 19, Flysurfer Unity 12, Flysurfer Pulse 2 14, Flysurfer Speed 2 SA 19, Flysurfer Speed 3 21, MBS Comp 95 landboard, PL Folding buggy, PL XR+ buggy, Slingshot LFT, Lots of surfboards
