The companies might be cheating on actual sizes (or not) but it's still a very valuable information
Other vendors are offering 3 (or more) light wind sizes for a reason.. there is no way a 15m2 LW kite will pull the same as 19m2...so give us the size
What exactly "pulling like 19m" mean? Does it pull you like a freight train downwind?
WOW well said
I know of one instance where a kite was 17.8 flat sqm but was marked as a 17 sqm on wingtip
That would make such a size feel powerful for a "17" compared to a 17.2 flat sqm other kite
A company would not want to call it an 18 sqm
Rounding down is the way it is mostly done i would think....drop the decimal
Yes having 3 sizes kite with same design for LW is a clever way to give the buyer confidence
They all know what they are buying....small...medium...or large light wind kite
They all know which one will have the power they are looking for where and how they ride
Each kite will have 1 knot low end difference over the other
Each kite will have 2 knot high end difference over the other
Yep...we all heard the term pulls like a freight train downwind
Now we all get it...............that why it's called a machine !
Mr. EZ- I'd suggest some Preparation-H over on Aisle 6 to cool that Supa-itchy burn.
And as a gesture of good faith, I'm gonna send ya some of those Tuck's medicated pads for that ride across I-4 so you can do your duty for your light wind fan club. Dig deep bro, you got this!
