fantastic weather and wind for kiting today for a larger kite, i'm considering getting a 16m (i'm 75kg, currently have a 12m which i can get out on/stay upwind in around 17 knots) for days like these, just wondering if people believe there are a lot of days similar to this one in the season (steady 10-15 knots) and therefore i'll get my moneys worth out of a larger kite

cheers

(i had a 9m last season but rarely used it, i'm thinking going bigger may be the better more useful option.)

I found a great site with weather graphs for melbourne!

Check this one: www.seabreeze.com.au/graphs/vic.asp

Seriously, if I had the money I'd buy as much as I could get my hands on! (Do many people think of the cost of the kite when they're out on the water?)

In Melb I spend about as much time on my 18m as I do on my 14m. My 10m still has a crinkly new kite feel after almost 2 seasons...
