Typical seabreeze will blow 18-23 knots. Most people (80kgs-ish) will use a 12.

Sometimes we will get a stronger breeze (25-30) - 8m.

We do get lighter breezes as well and up to you whether you want to bother with a bigger kite.

One Cross Bow will do, burn the others.

My daughter weighs 52kg, and she will be getting a 9m and a 12m at 90kg will do me.........15-30 knots is our season here in WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Hi, I was 53kg (before getting preggas) and I got out on my 10mt all the time 14 - 23knots .. When its really windy I would get out my 6.5 (23 - 28kn)

Hope to see you on the water this summer.
