a 15m foil which goes from 10-30 and a 9m fuel which goes from 18-40 (at a guess)

Question - do you ever use trim on those kites?

My kites must be awesome. Or you get more consistent wind than we do. Most here have 3 kites or more ... we get ridable wind from up to 40 knots and depending on the season, it doesn't gust. If you got 15 knots all fricken' day, with a gust or two to 20 for a few seconds, then rigging a smaller kit...

Todays forecast, todays real time wind reading, and finally facethometer at the beach. I'm totally jealous of your completely accurate forecasts! :-? Must be nice to have absolute trust in what it said on the internet that morning and the few seconds you sample the wind on the beach before deciding...

you guys need to go kiting and stop worrying about stupid stuff on forums.

So as a sweeping generalization, it's wrong. For a very specific case, it's correct. Gotcha :thumb: So here it is! Thought of today. If its gusty. put up a kite that is powered when the biggest gust arrives. in the mean time ride underpowered. Argue that if you wish an enjoyable argument. How do you...

He would end up in A&E if he did that to the windsurfers at our local spot .

Sounds like your windsurfers are the cocks. Or are they all 12 years old?

But you have admitted that you do the exact same thing
