of course he can. I've taken my 17m contra up to +30kts as well. Was it enjoyable, fun or safe? It's better to make big size changes in between bigger kite sizes and small jumps in between small kite sizes.
i.e. better to go 16m > 10m and 10m > 7 or 8
The reason for this is that force of the wind increases exponentially not linearly as the wind increases
