OK a season off has added some extra ballist around the middle 98kgs(all up..not added..lol), looking at a couple of rebel 07 kites (after much delibertaion over what to get) both in excellent condition, only 200 buck difference on price. a 12 and a 14. In the great pool of wisdom that is seabreeze which way would u go? im mainly kiting in Victoria and have a 130 and a 138 (both cardboards...lol, well i get one of my own ones this season too...plug plug www.elmonsterloco.com)
Im thinking due to my size a 14 should get me out in more conditions and i should be able to hold it upto say 25-30knots due to its depower and well my ability to edge bloody hard... cheers
Hi Ran for your weight I would go with the 14m then latter pick up a9m with all the 08 gear comming out you should be able to pick up some good deals on 07 gear

Love to see you out in 30 knots on a 14. LOL FOFL... Sure, sure you can edge REALLY hard....that'll be heaps of fun. Get a 12.
I am same weight ride 07 14m. Can get going in about 12knots on 145 nobile 555 and go well from about 14knots onwards, have riden it in over 30 knots as well. I have a 10m rhino for the really big days though.
Get a 14m. a mate of mine ( approx same weight ) had a 12 at the start of last season and was frustrated most of the time when the rest were firing on 12's he was struggling ( in approx 16 -18knts above 18knots he was fine ) he purchased a 14 and is still smiling. Has been out in as little as 14-15 and up to approx 26-28knts reasonably comfortably. Vic season tends to average between 15 - 23 most seabreezes so the 14 is the go.
