Cool video, thanks!
Is that a Rugby Helmet you are wearing, how does it feel when is wet?
Also, what regular Tube Kite size would you compare your 4.8 Cloud Kite with?
Thank you

thanks!
yeah that's a Barnett Heat rugby helmet / aka "scrum cap" -- provides some protection and also keeps the ears warm ;)

the age-old Cloud vs other kite size discussion is infinite and probably for another forum
but I'd say perhaps like a 6-7m, depends on a million factors though
