Witch kite would work better for extreme light wind wave riding NORTH rebel or L/FORCE envy 2010
What is the largest I can go and still have some response?
Currently survive on L/F envy 2010 in 12k.

The 15m Envy turns very responsive and light to intermediate bar pressure. It does not feel like a big kite at all. Team up with a light wind board (large twin, surf , fish or race board), you will get going pretty easy. 2011 Envy has even more lower end power as the struts are moved further towards the wing tips, creating more stability and better turning. Try it and compare it side by side to whatever other kites you can get and feel for yourself.

The Envy should have no trouble in relaunching. If you need any advice feel free to email me direct or give me a call.

The envy 10m I have relaunch very well, I wonder if say 15m can launch in 9-10knot or not and should I go for 12m or can I go bigger for wave ride?

Yes, we take the 15m Envy out in 8-9kts on a big twintip or the race board.
