Park is good allround kite for intermediate kiters.
Torch if you want a high performance kite.

But if you get a torch try to practice relaunching as its a bit hard at first. Even harder in surf.

As above ,i would go with the park its way more forgiving and is way easier to relaunch,the park is an awesome kite in the surf.

As a Park rider I am biased but they rock. Great in the surf. For sloppy surf try the Kipuna, for solid swell I am loving my Firewire- horses for courses

I would choose based on colours and which shop tries the hardest sell.

Ozone C4, excellent for TT's, and also not too shabby in waves, or Ozone Catalyst, better in waves, but still ok for TT too.
Pure wave riding, the new Ozone Reo, have a chat to Darren at AKS.
