What size kite do you need as a beginner?
As a beginner kitesurfer, choosing the right kite size is crucial to your safety and learning process. Usually you need a kite between 9-12 square meters, with lighter individuals (60-75kg) starting with 9-10m kites and heavier beginners (75-90kg) better off with 11-12m kites. The choice depends on three factors: your body weight, wind conditions and skill level. Kites that are too small do not offer enough power for water starts, while kites that are too large are difficult to control and dangerous. Find out which specific kit size fits your situation perfectly.
