Foiling destroyed my quiver....

Went form 9M/12M/14M/17M LEI's to 7/9/12 LEI's, and 12M/15M Foil Kites to 9M/11M Foil Kites.

The 12M LEI which is brand new/not used yet. I do love Foil kites and for the really light days, a 11M Sonic is my favorite as is a 7M LEI on big wind/gusty days.

Two considerations:

1. Lines are also a consideration and I do alternate between 23M/27M lines on my LEI's depending on if I know conditions will build or weaken later in my session. I fly my foil kites on 25M lines.

2. All LEI's are not alike and I had issues were two manufacturers where big conditions foil water starts could deform a 7M kite... Happy with the brand I am using now.
