Ok
So I have my quiver of 3 kites to cover my 90 Kg frame from around 12 to 35 knots and another smaller kite (7m bow) as the kids are quite keen to get into it also - awesome.

But thats where I start to wonder what is the right size of kite for its style in the wind conditions for the weight of the rider - and yes I know the size of the board also has an influence on what to pump up for the session - yep a bit of a matrix!!

I came across this little gem - and it seems to be good for my weight and kite style - but is it really a good guide to lean on for the times where I have no idea?

It's a bit light for me. I'm 80kg but the charts that are closest for me are the 100kg charts.

Yep I'm a power whore.
