Hello wind buffs! Been a while since I posted on here. Hoping for your opinion on a few questions:
1. Shall I go with a 15m and 12m Charger or 15m and 10m?
2. I was thinking 1 complete and 1 kite only. Good idea?
3. 45-55cm Navibar or 55-65cm Navibar?
4. Why does the Charger come in this variation of sizes? 19-15-12-10-8-6? Most other kites come as either 2m differences or 3m differences. E.g. Matrixx is 15-12-9
5. Final question. Curious...is the Charger a 4 or 5 line kite?

Anyhow, your input is appreciated. This will be used primarily for water. I'm about 175lbs. Thanks!

Hiya...

Not got much arc experience, but since north america's gone to sleep I'll chip in where i can. Kan't believe kami's not gotten on here yet.

1) 15/10 is better, the arcs have a wide wind range. The 10m might be better as a synergy 'cause the smaller chargers are very fast in the turns. If you have lighter winds / heavier body weight, you might want to consider a 19/12 mix??? Even the charger is not great in light winds, none of the arcs are... just in the design. I get lots of light winds and do most of my landboarding / static on 6.5 and 8 fixed bridle.
2) depends on your packing style/transport options. Some folks roll it all up together with the spars/bar/lines in, others pack it all down. If you pack down all the time, then it's not much trouble to change bars. But, the smaller chargers do benefit from a smaller bar.
3) smaller bar on the 10, bigger on the 15
4) the bigger the size the less difference on a per meter basis, the percentage difference between sizes is roughly the same.
5) 4 lines.

More detailed answers need to come from the guys with direct experience...

I envy your learning curve and cash flow, you're moving on fast!

Keep it safe, bro.

15 / 10 is my pick too ... 12 is too close to the 15.

I've seen most do this:

10 / 15
12 / 19

6, 8 comes with SM bar
10, 12, 15 comes with MED bar
19 comes with a LG bar
*you can flip the bar horns around to make a smaller bar for smaller sizes*

What rip said,

19 12 8 is the range for land use

15 10 6 is for water use

most people go with the 15 if they are only going to get one charger. its probably the best all round size for speed, power, and windrange.

id say go with the 19 and the 12. once you start dealing with the smaller sizes they become extremely fast in high winds. the 10 is so fast for the amount of power that is has, it needs a lot of attention and skill to keep control so that you don't get hurt

the 19 is the only kite that has the large bar 55-65cm. the 15-6m charger are all on the medium navigator bar. the smaller size charger still use the medium bar EXCEPT instead of coming stock with 23m lines the come stock with 20m lines. All the navibars also come with 3m extensions so that you can slow the kite down some, but it also gives you more power.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate your advice. Got a park in Seoul tomorrow and some pretty amazing beaches in Anmyeondo (just a bit south ofSeoul and on the west coast) on Sunday. Cant wait for warmer weather!

The 15m is the best all rounder for sure.
