The reason for this is that force of the wind increases exponentially not linearly as the wind increases

true, but the new small kites have a better range then the big kites...
i can easily ride a 9m waroo from 16-35, but i couldnt hold your 17m from 10-29....
(btw, i find it hard to believe you could ride 17m in 30 knots (36mph)???? im fully powered on a 5m waroo in that)
