Hi Sara

Go to this site:-

http://www.kite-surf.com/

Select 'User Reviews' from the left-hand menu. Select 'Naish Kites' from the drop down box and then scroll down. You should see a list of Naish kites with submitted wind ranges. Not all kites for 2003 have been reviewed yet but you should get some useful info.

Here's my wind range for the 12m X2...

15 - 25 knots on a 141cm lunchtray (pretty small board)....

That's the sweet spot wind range by the way, planing going, upwind, jumping etc.

x2s have similar windrange as Airblasts.
They like (need) to be rided powered up.

people who find X2s hard to use aren't in enough wind ......

I don't think so !
You can plane just as easy with a 16 X2 - well, I think maybe just a notch earlier - than on an Airblast 11.8 (16m2).

The Airblast is the kite with the highest low end wind limit (bad), but also amazingly high upper wind limit (good).

Both kites are very fast, and excel in LOTS of wind only !

neither of these kite are good for school use in my opinion. You really want a moderate to low aspect IE 2002 Aero or 2003 CO2 or GTO
