Waroo kite size question
 

I am a beginner, kinda but I am coming down for lessons. I already have a 16M 06 waroo, an old Wipika 9m C kite I have grown to like (durable, Stable and forgiving) and I am purchasing a 13m 07 waroo. I am 185lbs and have a CrazyFly all around 145x41, should I be ok and which one would most likely get the most use? Thanks.. Polo.

Your time should be split between the 16 m on lighter days and 13 m on somewhat stronger days. If a strong system comes through you will need something smaller, perhaps even than your 9 m C kite (upper end around 22 kts.?). You can expand the upper end of C kites, to a point, through tuning and more advanced techniques. Still, I wouldn't recommend this to a new kiter. Depending on your normal winds in riding season, you may want to consider getting a flat kite around 9 m eventually.

We have had some unusual weather in the last few weeks. At 190 lbs. I've been on 7 m (a first and over two days), 9 m, 11 m and 16 m flat (not C) kites in that time. Most of the time has been split between the 11 m and 16 m with a 12 m flat kite being one of the more common kites you see in use. This winter may be unusual, time will tell.

Thanks for the reply Ricki! Me not having in the way of water experience but I do have a few kites, lOl. I have a LF 6m , Wipika 9m (Old Gear training kite low aspect w-battens), Waroo 13m, Waroo 16m and for them super lows a LF M80 20m which I got kite complete from Real for $199, lOl. If I need anything else I will hit Graham up! Polo..;)
