About this calculator

Overview

Choosing the right equipment size is crucial for safety and performance in wind sports. Gear size depends heavily on rider weight and wind speed.

💡

Pro Tips

Kite sizes are inversely proportional to wind speed (stronger wind = smaller kite).
Beginners should start with larger boards for stability.
Check manufacturer charts as specific kite/sail power delivery varies.

Fun Facts

"The largest kites (17m+) are for light wind days (<12 knots)."
"Pro windsurfers often use boards with volume less than their body weight (sinkers)."
