9. Windspeed and Kite size
the kites are superbly easy to water re-launch and offer easy, predictable
performance. only a few knots of wind speed is required to fly these kites.
Kiteboarding, however, generally requires more wind, depending not only on
rider ability but also the size of kite, rider and board.
the following table demonstrates the aPPRoXiMate average wind speeds in
which kites of different sizes can be used by kiteboarders of various skill
levels and weights. Riders who are significantly heavier or lighter should use,
for a given wind speed range, kites that are one size bigger or smaller
respectively. these represent a rough guide only.
