Hey,
I'm heading over to Perth iin a couple of weeks for a holiday to see some family. I'm from Newcastle and have been kiting for about 18 months. My question is, the smallest kite i have is a 06 Naish Shockwave 12m and i am wondering if this is going to be to big over there. I'm staying about 10min drive from Fremantle. Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers

That will be fine then, maybe a bit much on the bigger days but you should get away with it. I'm 110kg and been riding a 13 here mostly. With a 130 board.

In fact I might go and do that again now...

damn it's windy

Hi Guys,

A 12 is a little on the big side for the wind we gettin' of late. 10m is the best size and you'll use it 9 days out of 10. We also use our 7's a lot.

Bloody windy season, it's been awesome

Good winds, (in fact bloody good winds)
