Boy the Noobs cop it over winter don't they.
Matt, perhaps a better question would be:
"What are a few good all rounder kites and why?"
As the eloquent folks above have said the definitive kite is elusive and subjective (in black and red or any colours).
How about supplying some info on your weight etc. Also what you hope to do with it such as riding twin tips or surfboards, flat water/surf/cruising/downwinders etc. Be realistic too - there is no way you will be charging over head high waves in your 1st season.
So anyway, I just got an Eclipse Nano 9m that is maybe not super spectacular in any area but an extremely well behaved
genuine all rounder that happily achieves a bit of everything and will be great fun in cr@ppy onshore waves for me. Works for me and my 85kgs in 16-30kts anyhoo.
The Ozone Sports are tasty too. Plenty of choices which does complicate things a bit.
Any other kites suggested?
Good luck.
but it did stay in the air longer than a new 9 mtr Ozone 
but yes teh I reckon great middle of the road kite is a an Ozone doe sthe business , you can go specialty later wave riding etc 
Yep - good thing I wasn't half as gumby as the Ozone kookster! Sorry Gary! 
). Nearly every brand has a kite made specifically for what you need. Just get out there, decide on a budget, try some kites and you won't look back.
