That's why you need a quiver ;) if you add a 7 and 15 you should be sorted

Thanks for the input bud. I'm still a beginner and wanted to get up on the board first before investing more, but this weather is making it impossible for me to get out lol.

Quick question... 65kg's, have a 10. Looking at sticking with Best TS... 7 or 8? Half are saying 7, half are saying 8? Suppose 7 is cheaper lol

I'd go 7 for sure to maximise range, then you can be out in nuking winds (once your confident).

Go a 7, 3m is an Ok gap unless you plan on owning lots of kites, then 2m gap is better

I rode a 4 m gap for years,

ride over and under powered and learn a ton, I had a one quiver (9m) when i started- people should spend more time on the water learning their kites than arguing on here.

I have a 12 and an 8, no overlap in terms of windrange. Works fine if you have a surfboard as you can switch from 12m and TT to 8m and surfboard to 8m and TT when it picks up.
