Hi, what about a guy about 100-105 kgs?

What are the various kite sizes and wind ranges for this weight range? When would a 9m, say crossbow/xbow be used over the 12m?

Do the sizes differ if it is a C-Kite?

Sunshine Coast... beginner level and looking for both flat and wave riding capabilities. Riding both wake and surfboards.

Cheers

Hey SurferAnt,

Im around the same size 100kgs, at the moment I am riding Slingshot Fuels 9,11, & 15. My style of riding is both waves and flat water.
I am very impressed with the fuels as they are very forgiving, light bar pressure and truck upwind like no other kite I have flown.

I use my 15m in about 12-20knots, 11m in 20-25knts and the 9m in 25knts +.

Ha SurferAnt,
You won't need a 9m crossbow untill it hits high 20's, with a wake style board 28-30knots, a bit less on a bigger board.
A 12m should be ok from around 15knots.
I am around the 103kgs
