How many kites do I really need in my quiver?
Most riders shoot for a three-kite quiver to cover light, mid, and high wind sessions. That gives you the flexibility to ride in just about any conditions. If you’re on a tighter budget, you can get by with two kites—just expect to sit out a few sessions at the extremes.
What’s the difference between big kites, mid-size kites, and small kites?
Big kites (13–17m) shine in light winds but feel slower in response. Mid-size kites (10–13m) are the "everyday drivers," great for most freeride conditions. Small kites (9m and under) are fast and powerful: ideal for strong winds, looping, and foiling, but trickier for beginners.
Should I go for an all-around freeride kite or a specialized surf/freestyle kite?
All-around kites are the best choice for most riders. They’re forgiving, versatile, and cover a wide wind range. If you already know you’ll spend most of your time in waves or throwing unhooked tricks, a surf kite or crossover freestyle kite will give you more performance where it matters.
Is it better to buy new or used kites when building my quiver?
Both have advantages. New kites give you full lifespan, warranty, and the latest materials. Used kites can save you a lot of money, but stick with gear less than five years old and always inspect the canopy, lines, and safety systems. A good middle ground is grabbing last year’s closeout model.
