So I have a 7m and 9m LF envy but i'm looking for another kite for the 15-20knots range. IF I was to carry on with a 2m gap an 11 meter would be logical but I'm not sure it would have the low end for twin tip riding? Could you hold a 13m down at 20knots @75kg? Drove by the pond today (13-16knots pretty constant on graph) and it looked nice and flat and pretty empty! Would be a good time to try out some freestyle moves.

Really just after some advice, discussion and recommendations for a larger kite! Cheers

Go see Jason at WestOzkiteboarding and try to demo an Ozone Catalyst 12 or 14M, preferably a 14, if you want to kite in those winds and have some power to trick don't go smaller than 14/15M kites.

I have a 12m Switchblade for that range. But I wish I had a 14 or a 15m for the bottom end. I'm 85 cans.
