thank you for your quick aswers.


i weigh 70 kilo, i have a 12m flexifoil neutron and a 8,5 flexifoil ion4, my board is a north xride 09 135, the thing is that im pretty low on money at the moment and im thinking about selling a kite to go to perth.

You'll probably be able to use your 8.5m kite 5 days a week in Jan. 12m will not get much use till end of Feb. Ditch the 12m if you must.

Basically the easiest way to do it is just to check the winds on the graphs, then check the wind range of your kite.

6, 8 & 10 sle would sort most of it with a surfboard and tt for 75kg
or a 6, 9, 12 combo

maybe a 8.5 for a one kite quiver based on the wind so far this year.

ive not needed anything smaller than a 9 so far in the last two seasons bar like 2 days.

your 8.5 will be fine and you might get to use your 12 a hand full of times if you get unlucky..

dont come though we got bulk sharks and stuff.

Bobgi is right - bring an 8 & the 12 or youll be sorry !!!!!!!

the sharks are small for baby great whites & the stink weed is from the Hippy euros smokin in the sand dunes

Its the Car breakins that will scare you off - just make sure you have absolutely " NOTHING " visible in your car - leave it bare !!!!!
