If you can - its best to demo. Everyone has a unique preference. There are a lot of guys have that have glides on this forum - I'm sure one of them could hook you up for a test spin out at sauvies.

But remember Sauvies is an evil temptress - you never know when she is going to give it up. She skunks more kiters than any other place I know. Its a good place to bring beer and bull sh*t.

there are some good kite suggestions for light wind at SI above, but your best bet will be this.

I am no Messiah, you'll have to find another PDXM.

Seriously though, Sure Sauvies is close. I agree the 14T2 is a great kite. Basically any good 14 to 16M kite would do if you get lucky, but you could be on a 9M with a 45 minute drive. Best of all no crowds. (Sure there may be a few crazy ATV guys and girls)
