Depends on how much you way and what kind of board you are going to use. The thing about snowkiting is that you need much less kite to get going in the snow b/c of the lack of resistence (instant planing) yet you can hold down much more kite due to your really sharp edge. So depending on what you want to do, you would use different kites. I am 180 lbs. and I use a 162 snowboard. My average foil in the snow will be the Ozone 9m. there will be days that I would probably want a 7m and days where I may want an 11m but the money kite will definetly be the 9m.heatdish wrote:so, killahz... if i were to go snowkiting in tahoe, and i were to buy a frenzy ozone 05, what size kite would you recommend? is 7m a good size for "average" conditions?
With inflateables, I could make a 12m work from 10mph average up to 20 mph average if that gives you any idea. The winds can be quite gusty up here but unlike water kiteing you can rig for the gusts up here. In lulls you just use your apparent wind and glide of the board to keep the power.
