Hello All,

I need your advice about the ideal quiver.

Right now i have a quiver of Park HD 7/9/12/14m.
I am 72 kg and ride with a monarch 136x42 board. I kite in place with different conditions from 12 to 35 kts.

I mostly do Freestyle from 12 to 18 kts then go for big air after this wind range.

I have an issue when travelling which is i end up with overweight if i carry those 4 kites in a plane. I would need to reduce my quiver to 3 kites.

What would be your pick among those sizes:

7/9/14m
(i personally find the 9m not very powerful).
9/12/14m
7/10/14m

Thanks for your recommendation

Start with the one you like the most. Put that in.
Now think of different conditions that another kite would add more fun. Pick the one that adds the most fun.
Now think of different conditions that another kite would add more fun over the first 2. Pick the one that adds the most fun.
Done.

If it's a travel thing wouldn't you see what the wind is in the spots that you are going and then pick the three kite sizes around it? You can keep all your kites for your home spot......or am I missing some vital piece of the puzzle?

2 other options are
1. Pay for extra weight on the plane.
2. Switch to pivots and travel with two kites.
