do you want the sizes big on a kite?

due to a recent discussion, it would be good to know if you prefer to have the size written in big letters so you can easily spot it from the beach?

Pls submit your vote and let us know, since also many companies will view the results!

flysurfer has always used color-codes for their kites.

First thing anyone asks when they show up.
What size is everyone on?
Then we go down the list.
So and so is on a 12 with a small board but he only weighs 130 lbs
that guy is on an 18 but he weighs 230 lbs
Oh and that guy is on a 20 and weighs 200 lbs but he's just crazy
and on and on
Great Idea and I support it but it doesn't,t tell the whole story unless you know the area then you can probably recognize everyones kites before you park.

It's very important that the kites have the size printed in big numbers...

When i arrive to the beach, i trt to understand what sizes are in the air...

EXACTLY. Get to know the riders and buy a windmeter, and you won't have to ask because you'll know just by looking.

And how do you read the numbers unless everyone rides close to shore? They would have to be HUGE...
