"Hey John...A standard 1.5 is a great place to start. 75-85' x 90# lines, 13 handles.Race rods are a great addition to get you down into lower winds flying.A full vent 1.5 could very easily become your best friend on those 10+ mph days.3 or 4 wrap rods would suit you just fine for a long time with this kite." . .
