Frequently Asked Questions
How to choose my kite size?
Kite size mainly depends on your weight and wind strength. The heavier you are or the lighter the wind, the bigger kite you need. Our calculator helps you find the ideal size.
How many kites do I need in a quiver?
A quiver of 2 to 3 kites covers most conditions. For example: a 9m² for strong wind, a 12m² for medium wind, and a 15m² for light wind. This allows you to ride in various conditions.
What kite size for a beginner?
Beginners should start with a slightly larger kite than experienced riders. A larger kite is more stable and easier to control, making it easier to learn the basics.
