If you're in Perth go see SOS in Freo and get them to talk you through all the kite has to offer... they also do lesson i the IKO style...
then when your zipper breaks due to sand and salt water take it to Neil Taylor at Hold the Line Kites in Wembley, if he can't fix it ( he can fix just about anything) he'll sell you a Peter Lynn then you'll get sick of taking your dooner to the beach...
Take the dooner to Windsurfing Perth who will trade anything on a Carbonarah(Spelling?) of which you will find has an abortion of a bar...
then use it as a wind shade or some such thing...
take all these experiences and your new found knowledge to a SLINGSHOT shop and get a REV, the highest selling kite in Australia for a reason...
JUST MY OPINION...

All Great shops and great people but i have had the best success with Slingshot Kites and i am sure many other kiter's will agree with me on the build quality and 12 mths warranty, great after sales service...
windy times to you used2surf
