You need to be more specific. My wife has cranked upwind MANY times on a 4m kite and even a 3m. Take a big surf board, and you could probably get motoring on...
Depends on the wind and your threshold for pain I guess. At 115 lbs, you weigh about 5-10 lbs less than my girlfriend who rides a 12m flat in 10-18 and a 8m...
