Im interested in what people think is the best wind speed for the different riding/kiting styles in relation to kite size and shape.
My go:

Wakestyle: 10m C/Kite in 20knts

Unhooking: 8m in C/Kite in 17-25knts

Waves: 7m Delta in 20knts

Freeride: 9m Bow in 15-20knts

Race: 8m Delta in 20-30knts

Boosting: 7m Detla 30-40knts

Speed: 7m Delta 35knts

If you dont do some of the riding styles just leave them out.

Keen to see what people experience

Boosting - 12m Hybrid in 25 knots
Freeride - 12m Hybrid in 20 knots
Wave - 12m in 20 knots

Why? Because I have only 12m kite :)
