Doing a quick 3-day kite-trip to Aruba in a couple weeks and plan to ride exclusively at Boca Grandi. But tight flight connections (less than 1 hour) have me nervous about checking a golf-bag so I'm planning on leaving my board at home & just carry-on...but 2 kites, harness, & bar crammed in a couple carry-ons will be quite a chore.
Question...should I chance it with just one kite (9m) or should I bring my 12m too?
advice for Aruba for Kite destination please

SURF 8 & 12 for the waves. RENEGADE 6.5 and 9 for all around kiting. And some times I use my son's JUNIOR PRO 4 when it blows 45+ for the waves.

If I was you I would bring the 12 and 9 meter kite. If you want to pack small make sure to use 1 or 2 vacuum bags to make things very small. You won't believe how small they get once you vacuum them.
