Heading to Floras Lake this Sunday for majority of the week.... limited on space. Wondering what (2) kites to take. I am a 200# newb. I was thinking a 7 and a 12? Think I will miss a 9, or even larger than 12?? Gonna be first time kiting there. BTY, looks like everyone launches on the north side, water shallow on that end or all deep?? Thanks for the info. Cool

The water is shallow on the north side. You can still touch bottom about 200 yards off shore (down wind).

As far as kites go I would bring every size you can, the 16-14 can be a session saver and it can get to be nuked out 7m. If your going to make the long drive you better take everything you got

Thank Chooch, I've only got room for 2.... so taking a 7 and 12. I am going to be doing other tourist stuff, so if didnt work with my quiver, than no biggie.

Bonetti, prob wont be on water till Monday... would like to meet you (why dunno?). See you soon. Look for the kook with blue helmet and yellow life jacket. Cool

BTY, dont care for Monkeys... but heard Michael Jackson did.....

If your going to be doing other stuff then I would have to say bring the 12m and the 9m and plan your tourist days around the forecast.

leave no kite behind, that is the real winner.
