New Kites (X2): 10 m² + 16 m²

Hi,

the best beach for kite- and windsurfing in Safaga is at Hotel Shams Safaga with a kite- and windsurfing-school from Club Mistral. We have been there 8 times.

Hi,

who can tell me the actual prices of new X2-Kites (8, 12, 18 m²) and where to buy?

You are perfectly right!

My proposal for the weight:
+/- 10 kg (normal 75 kg) is equivalent to +/- 10% in the constant.
For kites with projected area: Constant - 25%.

Toby, the simple formula (kn x m² = const.) is especially a help for the decision of beginners. Their range will be rather in collumns c 100 - c 200, the pros will go up to c 200 - c 300. A good average is: kn x m² = 200 The weight will decrease or increase the constant. I have no experience a...

Hi, for a better understanding two examples for my formula ( kn x m² = constant): If you fly an 11.8 m² AirBlast in a range of 8.5 – 17 knots, than your lower constant is 100 (11.8 x 8.5) and your upper constant is 200 (11.8 x 17). Therefore you can go with an 16.4 m² AirBlust in 6 Ã...

For selecting the kite size (in m²) in relation to the wind (in knots) I propose a simple formula: kn x m² = constant (Detlef’s Kite Rule) The constant is in the range of 100 – 300 and dependent on the type of kite and the capability of the rider. From my experience the following...
