I fully agree with Peter-Frank's posting of the kite sizes based on quiver quantity. I have a 8m, 12m, and 16m X2. The 16 and 12 overlap too much. So if you want only 2 kites, go with the 16m & the 10m. If I had it to do over again for a three kite quiver, I would definitely have the 18 instead of the 16m. So, in my case, I would have the 18,12,8 combo.

all guys R right. the 12 is a magic numba
tho and buying it for the first kite would have caused no such confusion. 12,18,8
now it is really 16,10

thinkin it over it is a perfect 2kite quiver tho indeed.

X2 needs to be sailled overpowered. The pros favourite x2 size is 16m. Underpowered x2 looks like a toy kite zig zagging it does not have a huge wind range. I would love to see blown away fly his 12m X2 on 30m lines in 25 knots. I know where you get your knickname.

Remember also that it depends on your board. With 2 boards you can increase the wind range of any kite... Wind range of 12m X2 for me seems to be about 10 - 25 knots. i'm interested to hear what the 16m X2 can get going in using a directional board....
