My 16 Velocity works perfect foiling, especially upwind. My lower limit is the ability for the kite to hover.
If it flies, I fly...
Have also the 13 but it wont get me going in really light winds. If I get it going it will go just as well as the 16 but needs a bit more wind to start.
If the wind picks up you do need to downgrade quickly as the 16 will give you one scary ride. especially downwind
Could you stay on the 13? Sure. Just a bit more tricky to get going and wont pull full speed upwind.
