2 kites 3 boards
Switchblade III 12m used by far the most for 12-25 knots
Switchblade II 8m used for 20-35+ knots
The Switchblades are not the highest performing kites but they are the most reliable kites by a long way and they have the most useful range of performance.
I ride more than anybody, in a broader range of conditions and I never have any problems with the kites.
TT 135x47 custom built lightwind board but I use it up to 20 knots
TT 132x39 Underground FLX 18-35 knots
Cabrinha S-Quad 5'9" This is a bit of a luxury. I use it in 20+ knots when there are waves on the bay and when I get to the coast in the surf. The TTs are more fun for blasting around and general riding. The big TT is far superior to the surfboard in light wind. The surfboard is nice for a change of scene and great when there are waves around.

For the past 2 years I have had 2 kites and 1 board, well 2 actually a surfboard as well. I weight 85 kg and get out as much as anyone really, If its very light (10-12kts) I am on the surfboard messing about just having fun. I really don't see the need for large kites nowadays happy with a compact travel 2 kites 1 board and if its not windy enough I skateboard.
Boards
Skywalker Dim Pro Comp 127 x 38 and a Skwalker D-Wave
Kites 8 and 12 Thruster 08's.
thats it, I also have 2 skateboards and one snowboard !!!!!!
