15m Soul for light wind
9m Hyperlink

That is good up to 22 knots or so. If windier, twintip

Cabrinha drifters for smaller sizes 10 and under and a 12m ozone alpha not a big fan of foil kites had one for 2 years...just to complex and if kite drops in light wind....if then harder to swim in

Let's get back to this topic
Today Slingshot has released Rally GT in 3/6/9/12/14 sizes and Raptor in 6/8/9/10/12
I ride Rally 5/7/9/11 for both foiling and jumping and 9m Turbine is a special boosting kite.
For a while I restrained myself from buying the SST as missing grunt and Turbine while being amazing for boosting kind of sucked for freeride foiling, looping, downwinders and relaunchability.
So if I had to buy myself a new quiver I'm missing sizes 5,7 and 11 in Rally GT or Raptor and I have a funny puzzle to entertain myself of what I would have got, limiting myself to 4-5 kites.
I'd replace 11m Rally with 12m GT and I think it'd rock as borderline lightwind foiling and lazy, <20knots jumping kite
I'd definitely grab the 3m GT as I get damn overpowered on 5m with a foil at times
I'd take a 9m GT as 9m is just my golden size for jumping and reasonably the largest kite I foil with
So I'm exposed on missing 5m and 7m. A gap between 6 and 9, or even worse - between 3 and 6 is just huge and It'd suck to mix SST into the line.
I wish it were 3/5/7/9/12 GTs but what, it would be 3/6/9/12 GT and 8m Raptor I guess...?

A full quiver of FlySurfer Peak 4's. I already did this but I would have saved a lot of money. If you foil get them when looking for a new kite. They're cheap, super easy to use and incredible.
