In the process of buying new kites and wondering if anyone has ever laid out different brand kites on top of each other or actually measured any kites to see if real size is what they claim it to be.
Just wondering if any companies are labelling kites as 12 mtr etc when they measure 12.5/13 mtr.Some kites seem way more powerful than a different brand in the same size is all im saying.....
Just need to remember my maths to work out sq mtrs with an arc.......

Saw this about the Naish Fly


Target: Designed for fun in light to marginal wind conditions.

The Fly goes in virtually no wind and is incredibly fun to ride. Its exceptionally light weight is primarily the result of removing the center strut. In doing this, the center section of the canopy performs like a spinnaker and generates incredible power in light wind.

The Fly uses the Park's proven easy-handling design, which gives it superior turning ability, but it incorporates more overall sweep, which helps the Fly relaunch in marginal wind conditions.

Design Characteristics:
* The power of an 18 with the turning of a 12
* Exceptionally lightweight
* Based on the proven Park platform
* Two strut design
* Amazing low-end
* Superior water relaunch in light winds
* Includes 10m extension lines
