3 kites to cover 12–32 knots
Heavier riders need bigger kites to generate the same pull. Our calculator adjusts the recommendation proportionally to your body weight.
Stronger wind means smaller kites. The relationship isn't linear — our lookup table accounts for diminishing returns at extreme wind speeds.
Beginners benefit from slightly smaller kites for better control and safety. Advanced and expert riders can go bigger for more power, jumps, and loops.
Wave riders prefer smaller, maneuverable kites. Foil riders use significantly smaller kites since hydrofoils generate lift at lower speeds.
This calculator provides estimates based on standard kite sizing charts. Actual performance varies by kite model, board type, and local conditions. Always consult with a certified instructor if you're unsure about equipment sizing.
