Which kite in the range has the most usable Wind range. Nights 15m but not used it yet. Wondering if I should have bought the smaller 12m as every one keeps saying they are so power full.
Also any one used one with an ozone bar in the 15m soul. Will it flag prooerlyor do you have to move the safety line stopper ball on them?
What’s the max people are comfortably riding the 15m in?

Smaller kites have more range. Top of a 15m could be any where from 15 to 25kt depending on weight and riding style.

Rode my 15m yesterday mid teens with gusts to low to mid 20s yesterday at around 5k elevation on a tt, it felt fine and never overpowered, could not get timing on jumps quite right as i was pulling the kite to the zenith, would get 10m jumps but not higher that were stupid lofty. On the foil board tried the day prior to ride in similar conditions and was overpowered out of my mind. I found my 15 to have a range of 10knts-25 on water on tt, on surf could go a bit lower at the bottom end, on snow it starts to get a little wild approaching 30knts, if you are not prepared to glide. I weigh around 170lbs. Hope that helps

10m has the most range in the souls of you ask me.
Sold my 15m as was too slow and not big enough range. The 12m was nice as well and probably wish o had kept that longer but I sold that for being too slow as well.
