hi my name Guilherme and I'm a surfer for about 3 years, I also have took same basic kitesurfing classes and I have used a training kite for a couple times , so I feel like is the time to go to the water but I don't know exactly what size of kite and board should I buy it??? My weigh changes quite bit, but I stay between 80kg and 84kg. I also want to know how important is the 5th line? I leave in Seattle and there is this store here making a sale on the liquid force spectrum 2 model 05 without the 5th line and there is this bestkites (or china kites I think!) 2006 with 5th line, which one is the best choice???

Hi Guilherme
Go to your local store and get a kite from them.
You do not need to have a fifth line but if you really want one get the local store to get a 06 Liquid Force bar as part of the deal.
What other brands of kites do they sell?
If you are a beginner you need support and help from local dealers and kiters, much more, than a cheap kite.
The best 5 line bars and system sucks anyway.
