in regular winds, if ur say ~75-80 odd kgs, on a decent board, and are reasonably accomplished, you will get out more often than not
most ppl here fly 10/14 or 12/16 two kite quivers. those that can often have a 6 hanging around for the regular NUKINGS we get, and a 20 or something for the frustrating trough/no-wind days
theres a fairly healthy second hand market here, but if u have ur own kites already id bring them (and maybe pickup a cheap board while ur here)
