Hi guys
Looking to buy a directional to get into more wave riding .
My question is
How does the choice of kite size change from tt to directional. My main kite is a 12m on my tt
Should I use my 9m when on a directional in the same conditions
Thanks.
Saul
More floatations = less power required ?????????

yea you can get out it on average mayber 5-10 knots earlier then to be comfortable on a twin tip, however with wave kiting i have been told by regular wave kites (kitesurfers) to use the smallest kite you can, go out on a 8 instead of fully depowering your 10, small kites move and turn faster and stuff
