I can understand the use of smaller kites when wave riding as its just a means of getting out the back mainly but what do you get out of riding a 5m on flat water? i would of thought that the pull for boosting, looping or hang time would be minimal. Most major brand kites these days, under 12m are advertise as very responsive, is a 5 that much more responsive?

i use a 8m Rebel for those extra windy days and i honestly don't get that much of a kick out of riding it.

Last week i was stuck using my 10m in 25+ trade winds (trade winds dont seem to have as much punch as our bay winds) and even though it was a bit of a hand full on the stronger gust it was great fun.

Hanging for monday, 20 knots northerly and a bit warmer
