You kite size will depend on your weight / experience. Most kites I have seen in the air in Sydney range from 10m - 18m. Depends if you want to kite in heavier or lighter winds...
Manly Beach is not the best location to kite, check http://www.nswkba.com.au for a list of suitable locations. When you arrive, look for kites in the sky around Long Reef or Narrabeen and ask a local about where to kite.

KITING IS BANNED AT MANLY BEACH
Has been for years. You won't even get it inflated during the day, the lifeguards will be onto you as soon as they make out that it is a kite.
The most used kite in the sydney area is a 12 - 14m c SHAPED OR a 10 - 12M Bow style.
Contact me at Kitepower for where to ride in Sydney, or visit www.nswkba.com.au
