Hiya

Wondering if its possible to surf sunshine coast with a limited quiver? What would be the average sized kite ridden by intermediates of a hefty 90kg?

Reckoning on a 12 -14M looking at your patterns?

Any advice would be welcomed.

Hello Parafin
I kite the Maroochy river entrance every couple of months or so, and I'd say that a guy your size would need to go bigger than 12-14 if on a C. I'm only 75kgs and have used a 14 C up there mostly but there's not that much wind. Like I say I only go up there every 6 weeks or so, so my opinion is probably not that great. Hopefully one of the local guys there will see your thread.

I used to have 2 kites a 17,12 and 8m (mainly used the 17 and 12). In november i Got a wind wing rampage 2. They told me i would only need a 9.5m and i would only need one kite. I didn't beleive them but I swear all i have every used is the 9.5 rampage 2. I have been travelling around the east coast the last 4 weeks with all 4 kites but have only used the 9.5.
I am about 78kg so perhaps you should get the 12m but i swear this is deffinetley a 1 kite quiver.
good luck

Def a 14 if 4a 1 kite quiver mate.

Hey Parafin

Good move to Buderim - what you'll miss of WA will be by far made up here.

No brands really favoured here - all the major ones are pretty well represented - not too many posers here where we kite - just a good crew having a lot of fun.

Seen a few 14m North Rebels flying around - may be my next kite?? Well a 10 that is for stronger days.

Well, off for a downwinder (just seen it's 17 to 22 N) - my 5th session in 7 days - geez, lifes hard...

PM me when you get here if you need some tips on where to go.
