I'm still tossing up which option would be better, I currently have a 9 fuel, but I need a bigger kite to ride on lighter days, and for because I want to do more surfing with the kite. These are what I'm thinking -

1) Keep the 9 Fuel, Buy a 12 m preformance kite, and then buy a 16 m light wind kite which I'm yet to decide.

2) Keep the 9 Fuel, Buy and just buy a 14 preformance or light wind kite I'm not sure.

Cost which I'm considering the most. I'm just worried that the 14 may leave me over powered, but not have enough power on the 9 to have fun. I'm looking at getting a bow or hybrid for my next kite. What do you recon?

Best light wind kite? Been looking around, but you here so many different opions these days it's hard to choose.

best waroo 13m?

light weight flat kite, good range, not to expensive.

my two mates (75kg and 85kg) get going in 15 knots on the 11m waroo so the 13m would be even better in light wind.
