I'll be spending 2 weeks in Perth from dec 1st. I've got a quiver of 8 - 12 - 16 Naish kites but would love to be able to leave the big kite back home to avoid excess luggage. Would that be advisable ?

Other data: 138 SK8 board, bodyweight 80 kgs

Plz reply on forum/and or on email [email protected]. I leave Norway on friday morning so quick replies plz.

Aloha,

Ole

Bring'em all is the no-brainer. Of course that is the safe bet. My problem is a cost/payback problem where I am trying to figure out if the extra cost and hazzle of bringing the extra (big) kite is wirth the effort. Realisticly, how many days (out of 14 days in december) will I be off the water because I did not bring the 16 ? If the answer to this is statistcly 1 or 2 I will leave it behind.

Any idea you locals ?

The Freo Docter blows at 18 - 22 knts. Just bring your 12m. Thats all I use. Leave the 8 at home.
