I am moving up to the gorge from utah and am wondering what size kite is needed for most of the spots. i am an experinced kiter and already have a 12 m waroo and am looking at another if i need another. i am 140lb and small compared to most. any help would be great and also some good spots to launch.[/code]

Gorge Kite Size

LUCKY YOU !!!
Post this same message at http://www.nwkite.com/forums and they will let you know. I don't speak Waroo, but a 12 will be a BIG kite for you in the Gorge. I'm 190 and up there I ride a 13 Instinct Sport as my big kite most of the time. On rare occasion I'll ride a 7M., but lots of days on the 9M (sweet at 30-35 mph) and also the 11 when it's in the mid 20's. You'll probably want a 5M as the small one and go from there Maybe 5,9 12. Whatdathink Jake?. Have a great Gorge season. Just starting to get going up there

7m and 9m waroo will do it for your weight. 12m Waroo will be good for East wind days at the gorge. You should check out the Bularoo kite that Cloud 9 has in stock. They are my very kites. If you want to try them out, I will be at Lincoln Beach this afternoon.
