one kite size to do everything would be a 19m edge . You'll be getting massive air in all winds

k thanks .can you use any type of kite on land with a snowboard?

Being from Canada myself, I know how terrible the winds can be. Keep in mind light winds are the most difficult conditions to learn and progress in: difficult to keep the kite flying, difficult or impossible to relaunch from the water and hard to develop power to get going. I myself actually never got going on my board until I traveled to proper locations with decent winds. Trying to learn in nothing but light winds in the water was a painful experience.

Keep in mind A kite like a 19m Ozone edge is not your most beginner friendly kite and very difficult to relaunch for a newbie in light winds. A 17m Ozone Zephyr would be a much better pick to learn with.

Any water kite can be used on land or snow. You'll actually have a much easier time learning on your snowboard in the winter on a lake or in a open field, as you will need a lot less power to get going, will be a lot easier to relaunch your kite, etc. Just keep in mind that rough surfaces and cold temps are not ideal for your kite so it's easier to break it.

A 17m is quite powerful for winter kiting on snow. You'd be better off using a 12m which is plenty of power even in the lightest winds.

As for boosting, you'd first want to learn to jump in proper winds with a smaller kite. I have yet to see a beginner who learned to boost big in light winds with a massive kite.

alberta people just lie threw there teeth to promote there own brands / preferences etc

you need to talk to your local brick and mortar / instructor. hes pretty much going to force you to buy one his brands he sells.
sadly its just the way it goes.

kozzie you must be a little slow mate but my post was about the 19m edge because the OP made such a generalised post i too made a generalised suggestion .

I thought it was pretty funny- 19m. Made me laugh!
