Anyone ride the GT 15m? I'm 88 kg and ride in Florida so I'm looking for a kite that works in light wind and still works if the wind picks up a bit. I've ridden the 13.5m and thought it was great but I just need a little more bottom end. I was thinking of 15/9 quiver for 10 knots to 30 knots.
Thanks!

I tried the GT 15. Nice kite, works also in lighter winds. But don't know how light I can go with it...also depends on board and weight. But nice, lofty and hanging kite, and quick for a 15.

I am 188LB/85.5kg, in barely 9 knots,(no white caps), I was able to stay upwind on a GT 12m and a Aboard Z series 137/42 without difficulties. For your desired wind range,combined with a decent board: 13.5m and a 9m should be just right.
