Go a 12mtr.

it appears on average we get about 10-15knots perhaps a little bit more.

so 10m or 12m..

whats wrong with liquid force?

All good! i'm just getting what seems like a pretty good deal on starting up in the sport. spending around 1600 on a new kite, demo lines, bar, board, harness etc.

and from what i've been reading the liquid force range seems to be rather safe to use and safe for learning on also. and also good when i can actually ride properly :)

thanks for the replys anyway! all is helpful!

Hi Mashrock, 'smee again.
The advice i was given was go for a 12m and that can be your midrange kite if you decide to expand your quiver later. Your about the same height and weight as me and i've been having a great time with my Ozone Instinct 11m in Melbourne's winds.

Once you've finally chosen the kite of your dreams then you get to move on to all the other fun questions like 'which board' and 'which harness'? In anticipation of those i'd say a 138x39 Cardboard with the sexiest design of your fancy, and a Mystic Warrior waist harness.

I have a 10 and am about the same size as you describe, i would go a 12 in hind sight and get an el-cheapo small kite to go with it.
