totally brand dependent IMO.

If I had to take one kite for 15-25 knots on a strapless surfboard, it would be a 9m.

Those look pretty good as well... and one strut. I got one at 11m (Breeze V2) and very happy with it. Thinking of getting a 4m my self, right now Bandit 6m is my smallest... Hello did you buy the 4m? any feedback on windrange. thanks a lot Hi! not yet. our waters are still frozen... :wink:
