Hey Toby,
Coincidently I started to do similar experiments as you, but coming from the other side, very light winds.
So comparing:
big board / small kite
vs.
small board / big kite,
surprisingly the first one is better.
I wonder if the same balance will stand for speeding. Probably I'll have the chance to test in two days.
C ya then.

Hi Abel,
thx for the info!
This is the first setup I want to try.
But please post your experience with stronger winds as well.
We should have about 20 knots.
