How much kite gear can you fit in a Honda Fit?
Lots!
That's 3 Blade IVs, 2 Bullets, 3 stings, 3 Waroos, 1 kitebuggy+tires, 2 kiteboards, 1 ATB, a backpack, and pads. All *inside* the car and the
driver/passenger area is completely free. I could probably still pack a few more kites and/or some real luggage (clothes and stuff) in there as well
if I tried a little harder.
I just got this ride 2 days ago and I've been loving it ever since! And yeah, I definitely got it with kiting in mind :roll:
Here's an alternate config for 3 peeps on a kiteboarding trip:

Ozone Zephyr 17m

Yeah folding them down results in them being totally flat! Unfortunately puttin the buggy in flat would take up too much room because the forks would
be vertical and throw off the pile of kites.
That's where my bike rack would come in, though 
My nemi quiver came in those vacuum bags.. man those kites were FLAT when i got 'em :roll:
