Hmm

I use 14 m² in 12 knots, 10m² in 16 - 20 knots and 8m² in 20 to 25 knots. But I'm like half of your weight (59kgs)

I would say for you ... 11m² - 17m², if you don't mind to have big kites and don't want to kite in 7 bft all the time!

11 - 17 for sure. My weigh (115kg, 252) and I use about the same sizes, but I have a 13m SS Fuel 2007, 10m type wave 2, and a 17.5 SS machine. and those pretty well cover my range for any wind.
you might want to get a size in between the 11 and 17 though. it's a pretty big gap. such as a 14m?

hope that helps..

Thanks fore your advice

sorry guys I do not really know much about the TD2 but I am just suprised by the gap 11 - 17. Is this really okay?

TD2 11m2 for 115kg can be used in 40 knots! wouldn't 13 - 17 be a better choice?

[Galeorn]

which are dimensions of your boards ?

[Thorbjorn]

Board size 142x40

SS TD2 are in follow sizes 5m, 7m, 9m, 11m, 14m, 17 m

The 11m ² will be then your wing of small time. It is true that with your gauge a 12m ² would be more advantageous. It would be necessary that you can try the 14 to see his power.
