Hey, i was just wondering whether what should be the perfect speed for the winds in between Winter and Summer. actually i have been doing my surfboarding, but not very good or experienced with kitesurfing. If only someone could guide me out so that i could try it myself safely.

Like Windows95, it's about time we stop supporting miles per hour http://ca.gizmodo.com/5786004/these-are ... ric-system

The scale that really matters was missing; here it is in the last column...

m/s -- Bft -- km/h -- knts -- kitesize
3.4-5.4 -- 3 -- 12-19 -- 7-10 -- 21-15
5.5-7.9 -- 4 -- 20-28 -- 11-16 -- 15-12
8.0-10.6 -- 5 -- 29-38 -- 17-21 -- 12-10
10.7-13.8 -- 6 -- 39-49 -- 22-27 -- 10-9
13.9-17.1 -- 7 -- 50-62 -- 28-33 -- 8-7
17.2-20.7 -- 8 -- 63-74 -- 34-40 -- 5-6
...

Reading the wind-meter is passe.
Instead look at the size of kites the wind-dummies out there!
To the question "How much wind today?", one should expect a reply like "Size 9 day!"
Bothering to convert to wind-speeds units is time you are not spending on the water .

No that doesn't work either. I was riding a 17 and everyone else was riding... 10s. Little tiny people on directionals

Kites are like dresses, sure you might weigh 150 pounds soaking wet and take a size 9, but I will be on an 19. Not saying I'm fat just that I could stand to lose about 50 pounds and your 9 will not fit me.
