Hi guys! I haven’t been kiting in almost 2 years because its near I possible to get out having the beach 1h away and a kid at home. Now I’m thinking to try kiting at the local lake. I’m planning on getting a 12m kite for that. The conditions are usually pretty gusty so I’d need something that handles gusts well. I have something in mind already but won’t mention it as I’m trying to be open to any suggestions. Thank you.

Hah, yes, that would have been useful info. The lake has a lot of seaweed so I’m looking to ride one of my bi-directional boards. Wind range 15 to 20 knots. Thank you.

I ended up getting a Pansh A15 12m. I have been very happy with it.

For inflatable kites take the Duotone Rebel, 5 struts, crazy lowend en handles gusts very well.
