Background.
Objective = to buy 2 wings to cover 70-80% of wind conditions locally.
Starting H/W. 100-115 litre board, approx 1500cm sq foil - stable carve bias.
Kit in cupboard 800 up to 2400 cm sq. wings.
Kite sizes 4m to 8m (Peak4 kites so guestimate 5m-10m LEI equivalant)
I have found unless I need to swim after stack, Kite foiling is v.low excercise high pleasure.
I want to keep pleasure and boost excercise.
Super impressed few years back with offshore downwind SUP paddle foiling but realistic about my power output with a paddle!!
Thinking is wing foiling is it and I am foil ready.
Local conditions - Sunshine coast 90+% of wind is 20 knots and under.
I kite foil (high end of poorly!!) from 6-8 up to 25 knots..
Finally to the point (phew!!)..
Can anyone with kite foil knowledge help me better understand equivalent wing sizes for sub 20knt wing foiling...
TIA
Cheers

Your weight ?
Ahh.. The vitals.. 74 pies prone to duck foot stance![]()
When kiting (with PEAK4 kites) I...
with 4M wind strength 16-30+knts
5M Wind 15-25 knts
6M Wind 12-20 knts
8M Wind 6/8 - ?? yesterday 18knts - overpowered in gusts but targeting footwork so happy with kite up high.
(Currently most likely on 1050 or 1200 cm sq foil 85 mast 232 tail - Armstrong)
