12-17m kites.
The kickers/ waves are glassy and there is usually less difference between lulls and gusts thus a more pleasurable ride. Unless you're out there looping all the time, I don't see the point of kites that turn fast at all.

We are out there looping all the time. How's the pebbles in England?

Zephyr on a crazy fly cruiser pro 145 by 44, fantastic combo unless you want to do the SB thing.

Stoke in Light winds: 10 - 20 - knots - Zephyr 17 - 2012 depends on the conditions old underground kipuna or OLD north TT Sky 136.

Stoke in Heavy winds: 20 - 30+ - knots - Rebel 10 Metre and a North Jaime 132 tt - or 6ft north WAM

I am 90kg trying to loose some pies from winter.

I have tried the Dice and I have a secret fund to get a 11 & 8 metre they are very good kites.

Hopefully getting rid of my old TT for a Shinn Dundee soon as well.

I won't sell my 10 metre rebel though it is Awesome for boosting.

Majority of commenters said favorite conditions were around 20 to 27kt range. What would you change to still get the stoke if it was only 14 to 20knts ?

Me, at 90kgs like the kite size so up the board size, still haven't found the perfect board yet though.

14-20 either 13m edge or 15m speed depending on my mood. if its hovering 14-16 speed. crank up wind on the 15m speed throw down some floaty jumps. 17-20 boosting off wave lips on my 13 edge. try and time the boost off , board grab, to downloop toeside landing on the next wave face. oh yeah!

Swiched to 2014 Reos this year Love the 3 size 6 ,8,10 m Ride on Smook s/b custom 5'5" and 5'8 production And also placed order for Zepha after demo at Merimblua classic

My absolute favourite all time kite ...

Cabrinha Switchblade 14mt - 12 to 20knots (covers 90% of all wind days up here in Townsville)

Otherwise...
Flysurfer Psycho III 8mt - 15 to 20knots
Montana 5 HQ 12.5mt - 9 to 12knots
Fluid ATV 10mt - 20 to 25knots
Fluid ATV 8mt - 25+ knots

Yep I think I have it all covered. Would love a Flysurfer Pulse 19mt for those sub 10knot days and only me out!

19m arc kite and tire inner tube strapped to my feet. i just go out in the paddock and its like i have a mobile trampoline that i can fly with. its been a few years but still my favourite sessions of all time by far.

11m Switchblade 110kg rider - 25 - 30knots boosting heaven
