Do light wind kites work?
Do light wind kites work. Or what you gain in size, do you lose in terms of weight & lack of manoeuvrability (thanks spellcheck). I'm considering getting an ozone edge 13m or 17m. We've had so many days around 12kn this year. At 75kg my biggest kite is a 10m reo and gets me going ok on a surfboard at 12/13kn with no current assist. Am I kidding myself going kiting in less, or is it worth having a light wind machine for freeride. Anyone with a 13 or 17 edge can give me a heads up. Or could i work an 11m to get more bottom end than the reo with a bit of added glide? Can they self launch & relaunch in low wind? Cheers
