Are any of you sharing a quiver? How does that typically work out?

Given theres a 40lb weight difference, my wife would always be down a kite size I think.
Not necessarily. If she wants to ride a tt powered and you want a strapless surf slightly underpowered for waves, might be same kite size. Happens more than you think. Also, if one of you is already out and the other is getting ready, do you really want to come in all the time to figure out who gets which kite? Some launches it’s easy, others it’s a PITA to do regularly. I know you want to keep the stock and price down but sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and spend to have more fun.
Thats a fair point. I didn't think of the difference that the surfboard would make on a larger kite. If we're going to share the same quiver, I'll most likely have to get a second twin tip, and I'll most likely get a smaller one with more rocker. That might make it easier for me to ride on the bigger kite.
