95 kg, old school:

3 kites: 12-14-16 (if one breaks, it replaces the next size)
mainly used: 16

1 board: about 128-130, 38-40 wide. I have a spare one, but in Brazil.

8 Torch 4 + 10 , 12 and 14 Torch 3 8)
132x39 Crazyfly Raptor
134x41 SS Misfit

Only have 2 boards because I'm not keen on the Raptor and the SS was cheap, one will be going.
Rarely use the 14, the 8 was a bargain so had to have it :thumb: Not overly keen on the 10 but the 12 rocks :D

Three kites all 06 models, 13mtr fuel ,8mtr octane and 5mtr diesel.

Use the kites mainly wave riding, but good all round performance for anything.

I'm 49yrs and 80kg and ride mainly a 6ft surfboard and use a 138 TT for junk wave freestyle.

Kite in gusty cross shore often ,with up to 20 knt variation ie 15>>35knts.
The kite I use the most is the 8mtr octane. :thumb:
