You want something stable like the cat in high winds. Most those who have them rate them as a high wind kite. At your weight though maybe a 6m.

Roll through centre line is no problems on C4, being 4 line, it is very easy to fix without leaving the water or even releasing to safety...

Ive had some of my best sessions on the 2012 8m cat. 25-35 knots. its super sweet in crazy gusty winds. but your right at the bottom end it lacks zing.
