I used to fly stunt kites when i was a kid, and jsut came into a c-quad 3.2 and a pansh 5.5 legend. I am 6ft 250lb what sort of wind will i need to get me going on these kites and some skis

You'll be surprised to find that about 7-9mph will be enough if you work the Legend like a madman. As little as 12mph will be good fun for you. It only gets better from there but really, that Legend, if you can "hear" the wind blowing across your ears (about 7-9mph), you'll be able to get enough power to drag you around on skis. Might be slow but you'll be surprised I'm sure. My 4.7 is one of my favorites when the conditions are optimal for it. You'll love the Legend.

I just bought a C-quad.
I'm so backed up with fun new kites and skatewings to try that I haven't tried it yet. I feel so Freakin' jaded :P

What I do know is These are VERY different kites !!!!!!


DON'T FLY your C-quad until you have figured things out on the Legend. The quad has spars that will break. The legend will be pretty bomb proof compared to the other. The quad will be smaller but way more powerful. It will fly with completely different input. It will need constant brake tension.


As your skills increase you will be able to handle the 4.5 in some pretty high winds. To get moving and learning I would guess 10 knots on hard snow 12 or more on soft stuff. Then up in to the 20's when you get skills.

The best kites for Snowkiting are Depower kites. Look to one of them as your next / bigger kite !
Have fun and Be Safe !
