Hi everyone, sorry about re bringing this post, still looking for an answer to my question.
Huge thanks Dimitri / Mdpalma / Chris 1974.
Unfortunately I am looking for information on wind strenght in Kts if possible.
Are we talking of 20 kts? 16 kts? 25 kts? 30 kts?
Someone sent me a link from Windguru, and look like I would need a 15m and 18m kite (16kts-24kts average). Is it possible that there is more wind at this kite spot than there is on the station windguru data is based on?
Reason I really need the wind strenght as oppose to your weight and kite size and/or this is a good spot or not is because quite often at home I am on a 12m kite and people 40 lbs heavier than me are on 10m. Saying they were overpowered??? When I wanted more power.
For some reason that difference of taste in kite size is getting worse in warmer temparature.
Ex: Mokulai (north shore ohahu), I am on 13m riding, pissed off that I didnt take my 15m. Other people are on 8m/10m .... Same with Cuba. 12m, no depower use on the strap, wanting more wind, other guys were on 8m 10m saying it was a strong windy day.
Any feedback on wind strenght would be extremely apreciated. (kmph/mph/kts).
Thanks again, Ian
(P.S curently on 8-9 months deployment on East Coast Africa, very limited and slow internet, cant research much other spots and need to take a decision very soon, oh yeah the wifi in the pport we go to is even slower, even if the hotel room cost $300 a night).
Tks again for any info on wind strenght.
