Proper kite sizing makes the difference between struggling and flowing. In Essaouira, typical quivers include 9m, 12m, and 15m kites to cover all conditions.

Size Guidelines

Light winds (10-15 knots): 12-15m. Medium (15-20 knots): 9-12m. Strong (20-30 knots): 7-9m. Your weight affects these recommendations significantly.
