How many kites...
How many kites to a realistically need before I don't feel like I never have the right size?

Re: How many kites...
Here is my current quiver........
14m single strut (foiling and TT)
12m Open C (TT)
9m Open C (Foiling, wave and TT)
7m Wave kite
5m Wave kite
I think I'd love to change my 12m to a single strut in the future. I used to windsurf and I liked the idea of kiting originally because it meant hauling less gear to the beach..... Sadly I got addicted to kiting. I love the way that you can change between disciplines so easily in Kitesurfing.

Re: How many kites...
12
I can almost guarantee, once you have 12, your no longer dealing with that particular dilemma.
