... more kites the merrier.

Depends on a heap of factors but in my opinion get 10 and 7m.

Read somewhere here that the 9m is different to all the other sizes in that it is not tuned to go faster or slower but a feel all of its own. 14m to 10m made a little quicker, 8 to 5 made a little slower or rather easier and not so punchy in gusts so the only odd one out is 9m. What it actually feels like is a mystery til guys test it.

Anyway, just one opinion, take with a grain of salt!

Hey what wind are you riding in - mostly? Makes sense 9m for one kite, but these are very grunty kites, one kite would limit your top and bottom end quite a bit.

One thing I have found is they say my 8m is from 16 to 30 or at least the bottom end is 16 - now I'm 85kg, and at 16 I was nearly holding ground - more so than not. While other kites I have flown if they say 16, it would be 18/19 minimum for me to do that - always added a few knots.

Advice I was given, base your quiver around where 80% of your time will be on the water. Have as much money in the air, not sitting in your shed. Look at the wind ranges specified. Although I know some crew like robbie have taken their 7m way beyond - but he's experienced and all that.

For mandurah, lighter winds than perth - went 11m/8m, if I was in perth 10/7m, if i was in gero, 9m/6m etc etc....where do you kite man, what's the wind like?

I ride Fuses 10m and 7m and have flown the rebel which is very similar in speed and power. I weigh 85kg now but was 90kg when I demoed a 9m fuse which had me going upwind in 15 to 17 kts. with your weight and the surfboard option aswell it should be a 9m for sure good for 15 to 25+ and then I reckon a 6m for 25 to 35+.

I think the 9, 7 combo will overlap too much.

Just had a run on 9 and 11 for about 3 hours I normally ride 2011 10m and I am 90kg at your weight I would definitely go 9m very sweet kite
