For you guys riding at the coast on surf boards, what is the kite range you use? I am assuming 5M to 7Ms but not sure. Any good ideas on this?

during the east winds some guys size down to 5-7m kites. IN the ocean you'll have to deal with currents. I ride 11-15m in the ocean.

Not that I can help with the surfboard aspect, but the wind varies a ton. One day will be underpowered 13m, the next could be beyond 7m. Are you talking for this time of year?
