quiver question for a 125 lb light dude
I am looking into getting 7,9 and a 13m kite. Do you think that will be fine for someone my weight size.125 LBs The wind ranges very so that won't help too much. I didn't know if the 9-13 was too big of gap or not. I think the 7,9,11 or just too close together. Plz I would love any input you could give me, thanks again

WHen I started Kiting, I was around 140 lbs. Now Im 160. Dont ask how I gained it.
lol, anyways, i think thats a good range, since a 7 meter is for strong days(tops 26 mph cause u'll fly away) and a 13 for those 12-17 knots day) Just beef up on the protein. Gud luck, Danny

One word of advice: Despite the fact that you have a quiver, use them carefully and don't underestimate the conditions out there.
(I didn't want to sound like Star Wars, but wutev) No problem and good luck -Danny

I weigh 130lbs, and I have a 13M Waroo and 9M Switchblade. I replaced my 12M Crossbow with the Waroo. These two kites allow me to ride in almost all of the conditions we have here in NW Florida. Despite the similar sizes in the CB and Waroo, I found that the CB had much more depower than the Waroo, and I could hold down the CB in slightly higher winds (upper teens with gusts toward 25). With the Waroo, I am definitely more powered. But with either kite, as soon as I felt overpowered, I could jump on my 9M and have a blast. The only time that I had wished I had a 7M or 6M is with wind in the 30's, but I'm a bit intimidated by that, so I haven't kited in those conditions much. I guess it all depends upon your wind conditions, the type of kite you choose, and the board size. Good luck!!
