Solid wind for 3.7 sail on wind foil today launching from Locarno.

I was thinking back to the "old days" (I was a bit of a late start). Back then if someone was out on 5.0 (windsurf) this was good guidance. Now, there are so many wind sport versions out there is hard to know. The extreme today was one on 2.5 kite (foil) at the same time as someone else on a 12M (twintip).

Great to see you Mike.
Today I tried a 2.5m kite for the first time, after I was overpowered on my 5m. Had to work a kite a lot but going downwind was a blast.
Now I know that 2.5m works for me then it's over 20kn.
Hope to use it a lot this season.

Thanks for pointing that out! That was actually yesterday (Tuesday). I started on 6.8 and later went to 5.3. Good turn out again. Warm and sunny.
