SELECTING KITE SIZE
Many factors can affect your decision of which size of kite to use. Body weight, wind
conditions, kiting ability, line length, board type and size, etc should all be considered.
When in doubt ask someone who is capable or, if there is no one to ask, err on the
side of caution with a smaller sized kite!
