4m Rally with 30 m lines in a hurricane. Longer lines are way more controllable in strong gusts.
Nice contrasting pic

5m Ocean Rodeo Storm works well in the Gorge especially Rooster Rock when it hits 50 mph. Not sure I’ve hit 50 knots though (57.5mph). It is rock solid stable with 5 struts and 23m lines
OR does not produce the Storm kite anymore . This was a good looking kite well built .

Problem is, that very few use these sizes...
Not easy to understand for many of us who do it often, but still a fact if you look at the full sale.
The next NEW dilemma is, if they are built super tough (heavy) it works for insane winds indeed - but then you loose the foil public where a 5 m2 on a Surf wing can be used in 14 knots easily for average weights.
Always difficult for brands with the smallest and biggest sizes indeed

A twintip Axis limited 138x42.5 and also skis the 40 to 50 knots ils more common in the winter here I used the 5m a few times in 100km/h wind on the snow good little kite so fast but well behaved.
