Hi guys

Bit of info on me
I am a beginner about to get my first kit, I will do most of my riding in cairns but I weigh about 120 kegs ( on the way down) was recommended a 12 m switchblade 2012 but I'm not sure this is big enough

Regards
Kris

go a 14, 15 or even 16m.
Make sure you get the biggest twintip you can find too!
You need more power when your learning to ride.
you might want an electric pump for a kite that big too!

Once you're experienced, for your weight on the 10m I would expect you could go up to 30 knts, perhaps more. I have a 12 for under 14, a 10 for 14-25 and an 8 for 25-35 and weigh 83kg. The 14 would get you up and going in around 13+. Like I said, once experienced and you know your limits.
A 3 metre gap is usually reccomended between kites, so maybe an 11 would suit as your high wind kite, unless you lost 10kg in a hurry.

Buy a seven youll spend so much time doing the walk of shame ; youll be under a 100kg in a week

A mate of mine took up kiting weighing around 120 kg. He lost 20 kg over summer! I asked him how he did it. He said it was simple. After taking up the kite he spends all his spare time on the water and doesn't have time to eat. And when he goes home he's too tired to eat.

Geez, I'm thirsty when I get home, so all that beer makes for no weight loss
