Please note that this guidance is based on a number of assumptions (see assumptions on the bottom of the page). Each page gives the

guidance for a given rider weight. So there is a page for a rider of 50 kg, 55 kg, 65 kg, 70 kg, 75 kg and so on, up to 100kg If you fall outside this weight range, please contact us (see contact details on www.kitesurfNOWeu) and we’ll be happy to help You’ll notice that guidance is given for 4 types of kites:  Bow kites with high aspect ratio (examples are Cabrinha Crossbow, Ozone Edge, Ozone Zephyr)  Bow kites with medium aspect ratio (examples are Cabrinha Switchblade, Ozone Catalyst)  Hybrid kites (examples are Cabrinha Nomad, Slingshot RPM)  C kites (examples are Ozone C4, Slingshot Fuel) beaufort mph knots 4 Different sections representing 4 different kite types (bow high AR, bow medium AR, hybrid, C) Area giving wind speeds Wind range for advanced riders Wind range for beginners 12 Kite size (m) Grid lines at 1 knot interval Assumptions  Wind speeds are average wind speeds  Using a twin-tip board.  No significant current in the same or opposite

direction of the wind direction Limitations  Not every kite model in the same class is the same. For instance, the wind range for a heavier (cloth) kite will be at higher wind speeds.  Some kites may have a larger wind range. For instance, the wind range for kites with a very efficient depower systems may be extended into higher wind speeds.
