What is the biggest kite you use for foiling?

[Crissssssss]

Hey guys, how’s it going? What’s your most used kite for foiling? I’m located in Florida so in the summer the wind is pretty light. I was looking to add a 15m NV to my quiver or get a foil, in that case what’s the biggest kite you use when foiling? I just want to use it for the days that the wind is too light for the twintip. I’m looking at the NV or the WOW. Thanks.

Last year at 100KG Airush Ultra 15m all the time. This year at 80KG and a lot more practice Airush Ultra 12m if it stays in the air I can foil.

7m, but Hood River is windy, or pretty much zero wind. Not a lot of light wind days in between.

80kgs, Moses 633 with Groove Skate S. Soul 10m. If it stays in the air, I can foil.

10m Switchblade. If I can't ride, it'll suck with a bigger kite anyway

First off - choice between an 15m kite or a foil? Get a foil.

Second - I wouldn't buy a larger NV or a WOW for foiling. A better choice in The LQF line would be a Solo.

The biggest kite I have been using is an 11m Cabo wave kite (with a 700 sq cm wing). That will get me (80 kgs) going with no problems in 10 knots. With more skill &/or a bigger wing could probably do it in 8 knots. Lower than that will require more skill &/or a bigger, light wind kite.

If you're just learning to foil, I would go with what you have (assuming you have a kite in the 11m/12m range). When you're starting out you won't have the skill to go in really light wind - you'll want to go out in 12 - 15 knots so that you can concentrate on the foil & not worry about dropping the kite. Once you have the basics figured out, you can decide if you want to invest in a bigger kite, & at that point you will probably have a better understanding of what you would like.

What size do you guys think I should add to my quiver? I currently have 11m and 13m hifix and I don’t think that they will perform really on 10knots for example. I weight 90 kg. Will a 12m nv or 9m nv get me going on the light days? I will get a foil with a big front wing so that it is easier to learn.
