I quite like the site though when I was in "info-absorbing" mode there were unfinished parts which I don't know if I ever did see (gonna spend some
time there tonight now). As far as the sizing charts - looks to be about right but it's very general. Each kite is different and published size VS
projected sizes vary. Arcs especially - the projected size of a 16m Venom is something like 11.5 m so in the case of the chart the numbers are all
wrong......but they are a breed unto themselves. Flysurfers too.....I still get the chills when I see the little drawing on the 13m that says
something like "equal to a 20m inflatable). You'll also find big differences in the LEI world in terms of power output per sq meter. Even moreso when
you get into the styles/shapes.
One thing I didn't know before (and I only assume it's true because I've now read it on the internet) is that the manufacturer's wind range charts are
based on a 150lb rider. I'm halfway between there and a 200lb rider (on a good day) so my brain adjusts accordingly.
