I'm not assuming anything. It's perfectly possible that a 12m may be .3369m2 bigger than 12m. That's pretty normal in kite sizing. It's a bit different when you get down to small sizes like 6m, 5m, 4m and 3m used for foiling, .3369m2 makes a much bigger difference.Atte wrote: ↑Sat Aug 20, 2022 5:48 am
In your calculation that the 5m is 25% bigger then the 4m and the 6m is 20% bigger then the 5m you are assuming that the sizes are 4.00m² 5.00m² and 6.00m² and most likely they are not exact x.00m².
So what I'm saying is that a kite that is 12.3369m² you call it 12m² and a 13.9856m² you just call 14m² and so on mening a kite that is called 12m² is not exact 12.0000m²
1m increments in the Peak sizes does offer a full range of choices ... except if that leaves you with a choice between a 2m gap - too big - or a 1m gap - too small. This is why BRM offers more nuanced size increments. The only really weird sizing in Peaks is the on the new Peak5 range where it goes 6, 5, 4, 2.5. I avoided getting a 2.5m Peak5 because the jump from 4m to 2.5m seems way too big. So I'm happy to have found a Peak4 3m. Perhaps someone who has had both the 3m Peak4 and the 2.5m Peak5 can comment?
