Ok thanks a lot, I think I may just look into getting a 9 meter, then I can use that for heavy wind on the water.

So you'd say with average snow I could probably get by with a 7-9m kite? Around here the snow isn't usually very powdery, but does have SOME powder. I just don't want to go out to the field with my 12m, power up and go flying off into the distance...haha.

Ok thanks a lot everyone. I was under the impression that being on the land I didn't need as large of a kite to get the necessary power. Would I be alright just using my 12m Omega on the average wind day? I thought that'd give me too much power.

The only reason I was real interested in the TSR was because A it was a 4 line kite thus pre...

There seems to be alot of trainer kites out there, ranging from 1.8-3.6 square meters, all different brands and sizes, some 2 line and some four line. I've flown my neighb...
