Guide wind range according to Flysurfer for a rider of around 75 kg; it varies with your weight, your level, the type of board (twintip or foil) and the conditions. If in doubt, always choose the smaller size, especially on land. Aspect ratio: the ratio between the kite's span and chord; the higher it is, the more performance and the less low-end pull.
