So I show up to my local spot.
Winds blowing.
Like most people I'm wondering what everyone is out on. And as I'm assessing the situation.
most are asking "what are you out on?"
I find myself always asking right after "mind if I ask what you weigh in at? "
Most guys are out on 7s, 8s, and 9s. I'm thinking 12.
I generally find that for approximately every 25lbs or 10kg I weigh more than the guy I asked I add 1 kite size bigger to my selection.
I usually get the "are you crazy" look from the skinny guys when they are on their 7m and I'm pumping up my 12m. But when I am on the water I'm only comfortably powered up.
Any one else find this to be a good rule of thumb?
