No offense, but I am planning on it not going mainstream.
 Not going to be talking much about it. Cool. Put it up on the 'net (CD) for download when done. My nephew just got C o D 4 for Xmas.

Sad reality this year, but nonetheless there is wind to be found. In the past week have ridden some nice breeze's up around IRB and some nice SE to SW at the Dunedin Causeway. Just got home from 4 hours or riding today, started around noon. It wasn't epic, but it was sunny, board shorts, and having fun with the big kites and boards. There were even some sets with 14/13M kites. I sometimes wish I lived closer to the bay, but in many ways, I am glad I live in the middle of the county as I have equal access to north and south riding locations. I guess it's all what you make with what you have. I enjoy the search.

wouldn't a two kite quiver be a 9 & 16? ( if only that is affordable ?) instead of a 12 & 16?
a 12 & 16 would be a two kite quiver, sure, but it is still not a full kite quiver ( it overlaps, but the 12 is sure a lot more fun!!!!!!!!!) . the full one would be 9, 12, 16

I think it depends on your weight and the boards you own.
I have no need for a 12m. But a large guy would. Ross is a big guy. I think the more you weigh, the less overlap you get from kite sizes, too. Do you think that sounds right? Dodge ball was awesome, B. I liked hot box the most. It was basically a baseball pickle, using a tennis ball. You could tag the guy or bean him, and he was out. Whoever ran back and forth the most before getting beaned, won. I loved beaning kids as they were running. Great eye-hand coordination.

wow, being a pretty big guy myself, I couldn't even see going out on more than a 9m next wednesday january 2nd. But I must just be a wimp and should man it up on the 12 instead I guess is what I seem to hear

I guess I was wrong, Ross. It sounds like even bigger guys are recommending that if you have 2 kites, it should be a 16m and 9m.
I didn't think that was the case. I just assumed only lighter riders could get away with that, especially in the overlap region of about 17 knots. I guess I would look around for a 9m to hop on to from that 16m. I don't want to sell you something that won't be useful (my 12m Ion).

a 12m would be a useful kite, but it would not be a 2 kite quiver, you would still need a third smaller kite for the higher wind days.
A 12m is actually the best kite size period, for a one kite quiver. but it sure isn't a full quiver is it? You are still missing the windier days and the lighter days. If he is willing to still sacrifice the windiest days then the 12m will add 5 or so more kts to the overall high end. to cover as much wind as possible ( if thats the objective ) 1 kite quiver = 12m 2 kite quiver = 9+16m 3 kite quiver = 9+12+16m
