| GRIFFIN har et meget godt vindspekter, og en kite vil kunne dekke et stort nok vindspekter for mange, mange dager på vannet eller snøen. Som på de fleste andre SLE kiter vil en erfaren kiter få mer ut av kiten både i øvre og nedre del av vindspekter. Vekt på kiteren, brettstørrlese og type, samt vannforhold vil i større eller mindre grad påvirke vindspekteret til alle kiter. Ikke pump opp kiten dersom du er usikker på om du takler de rådende vindforhold. |

| Wind Ranges for a 80-85kg rider on a 132 board experienced rider. Note, beginner/learner riders should not go out past there comfort wind range or past 20knots and should always learn in lighter winds. The below is a guide only, different rider experience, weights and board sizes will vary the doable wind range. |

- 5m 2010 Griffin (10-20 ms )
|
The 5m was designed to be a trainer and a insane wind kite, the kite flys well in 10 knots when learning on the beach, I get going on a 132 board in about 17-20+ knots and have not reached the top en
|
- 7m 2010 Griffin (8-22 ms)
|
The 7m gets me out on a surf board in 15-16+ knots and a 132 twin tip in 17+ knots, I have ridden the 7m comfortably in 40-45 knots. I like to use the 7m when its over 20 knots on a surfboard or 23 knots on a twin tip. Lighter riders 75kg would be able to get going on the 7m in about 15 knots, heavy riders 90kg+ would need 18 or more knots.

The 9m gets me going on a surfboard and having fun in 15+ knots and a twin tip in 16+ knots. The top end of the 9m for me is near 30 knots. The ideal wind range I like to use the 9m in is 18 to 28 knots on a twin tip. Pete Smith (75kg 5ft6 surfboard and likes to unhook) uses the 9m in 11 knots to 28 knots.

- 10.5m 2010 Griffin (7-15ms)
|
This is the kite I use 90% of the time with the wind mostly being 14 to 25 knots, I designed this size because often the 9m was just little on the small sizel and the 12m was just a on the big size, the 10.5 gets me going in 11knots with a 6ft2 surfboard and can handle 25+ knots comfortably. For a surfboard the ideal wind range is 12-13 to 25+ knots, for a twin tip 14 to 28 knots. We have had some riders using the 10.5 in up to 40 knots but this is not advised or safe as riding a kite in overpowered conditions can be dangerous. The 10.5 feels like a smaller 9m kite but has the bottom end of most other 11m+ and last years Griffin 2007 and 2008 12m kites.

- 12m 2010 Griffin (6-12 ms)
|
Good for the lighter 12 to 20 knot days, riders who are buying this size are usually on the heavy side 90kg to 120kg and want to get going in the same winds as 80kg riders. the 12m is a powerful kite with lots of de power. For me the ideal wind range is 12 to 18 knots. We have 2 heavy local riders who use the 12m in up to 28 knots who weigh 90 and 110kg. Most of the time I go for the 10.5, but 90+kg riders prefer the 12m over the 10.5.
