What is the perfect wind?

Back on-topic: Perfect wind is steady 25 knots with no gusts, side-shore or very slightly side-off, in clean, well-spaced, double-overhead waves that peel perfectly down the line, with butter-smooth flat water in between the waves. Paradise.

30-34 knots on the 10m for biiiiggg air and for the 7m that would be 36+.

Ofc I can really enjoy 20-25kts sessions, layed back and a bit of freestyle.

But I enjoy kiting from 9-10 knots as my quiver is 17-10-7.

Wow!! Dude, I'm on A 6m in anything over a solid 20knots! Even in boots, 30 knots is small kite weather. Even for fucktards like Starsky!

Only with increasing wind I push the high end of the kite just to boost hiigh. If it would've been 27+ knots from the beginning I would've grabbed the 7.

Saw the top of a kite that was on 12 o clock last session. It was SICK. (first time jumping 20m+/-)
I was on the 10m and when I came home I checked the windmeter and at the peak the wind was 30 gusting 36. It started at 20+/- so I got warmed up pretty well.

For Old School (using twintip): 25-30 knots with 9m kite or 30-35 knots with 7m kite
For wave (using directional) 24-29 knots with 7m wave kite or 28-35 knots with 5m kite

(any)wind in the range of your quiver of coarse.

Depends how much caffeine I've had that day.

The wind strength is only one part of the equation, but to answer the question 20-25 knots. I am afraid I don't like kites bigger than 10m+ but I respect those that do.

Minimum of 22knots up to 32knots; anything in between is perfect on my 10M Screamer LTD.
