How much do you weigh ? I'm about 150lbs and the 4.5 works good in those winds for me although they are a bit low for jumping. Expect to experience
good pull but not as good jumping. I'm still working on my jumps and choose to go about it slow and easy. I choose not to jump ( on purpose ) with my
4.5. I've been lifted many times with it and rode it out without troulble. I stick with the bigger kites for jumping.
