Matt - at 53kg you must be the noob grommit just go to the above and get sorted out, so your next post wont be ' whats the best matching board '

suggesting a 10m for a kid that weighs 53 kg is a bit silly.
go for the 12.

ozone are doing a 17m light wind kite that would suit your weight to a par for 10-40 knots cause they have so much depower and unhook to boot....

hint of sarcasim for a pretty stupid question
and i only have one username unlike LORD RABBLE

i heard ozone got a new c kite coming soon that should be perfect for freestyle....
maybe cause of its !!ever so slight!! resemblance to a fuel
i also heard catapault are making a model called the "new fuel" or "not a torch" that could freestyle to boot, aye rowdy

10 to 40 knots!! holy cow it think i might go buy a 17m light wind ozone! there's a 40 knots front coming through and ill be just fine!!!

seriously man 10 to 40 knots..... its called a light wind kite for reason i weigh 65 kgs and can barely hold on to a 8m in 40 knots.

Check out the 10.5m best kahoona it is a verry forgiving kite that will let you progress quickly the steering isnt as quick as some of the topend freestyle kites but is good enougth to learn most tricks on. Has great depower which would give it a reasonable windrange making it a one kite quiver fore you. Other intermediate kites to check out would be North reball, Cabrinah nomad or SB, slingshot Rev 2 or the new octane,f-one Revolt, all of which should give you a platform to improve your riding right up to the highest level. Kite choice is all about what style of riding you are doing now, what you want to achieve in the near future and what conditions you ride in. If you give us a bit more background on yourself and conditions you ride most I think most people will start to give you better advice so you can make the right choice for your next kite.

That would make your post A TOENAIL POST less than average at everything. Give the lad a chance to get some advice and not have to work through the bull **** you post **** head.

Hey Matt,

My suggestion for a 10mtr was based on the fact that our average wind conditions are from 10-20knots. Im sure you are on a 10 at the moment.

It really comes down to what you want to spend on a kite as well as the fact that you want it for freestyle etc.

I have stacks of options for you in store that would surely suit your needs.

Ozone sport 7m, Catapult Joker 7 or Hawk 8, slingy fuel 7, hifi comp 7 hifi 7

10% info and 80% w@nker BS on this thread.


The other 10% aren't sure either way..


Matt - this time of year all you are gonna get is troll target practice and agro kiters who desperately need a fix.

Wanna find the kite you like the best? Simple. Get out and about and talk to retailers then demo as many kites as you can.. or.. wait until the kiting season returns, when the blokes who mouth off like urshooles and have forgotten their own noob days are peaceful and helping little old grannies cross the street.
