What size kite should I use for my weight?

Asked a year ago
The appropriate kite size for your weight depends on various factors such as wind conditions, riding style, and skill level. As a general guideline, lighter riders may require smaller kites, while heavier riders may opt for larger kites. However, it is essential to consider the wind speed range you intend to ride in. Lighter winds typically demand larger kites, while stronger winds require smaller kites to avoid overpowering. Your riding style also influences kite size selection; for freestyle or wave riding, smaller kites offer more control, whereas larger kites provide better power for racing or boosting big jumps. Finally, your skill level plays a role; beginners typically start with larger kites to help with stability and controlling power. However, it is always recommended to consult the brand's sizing chart or seek advice from experienced riders to get the best kite size recommendation for your weight and specific circumstances.
