Hey guys

Picking up my gear tomorrow morning (been saving for a year-and yes, obviously the day you pick it up, wind looks terrible haha), really stoked about it though. Got my hands on a Best TS 10m. I'm 70kg's and ride a 135" axis Vanguard-looking at freestyle riding... Any recommendations for a second kite to cover Melbourne's unique weather?

Probably be out most days the wind allows for - afternoon sea breeze...

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

I'd suggest a 7m as your second kite. It should cover you from 20-30 knots

The alternative is a bigger kite to cover you from 8-14 knots

But surely you would rather be out boosting in 20-30knots than mowing the lawn in 8-14

The wind looks alright tomorrow maybe lol, I'd either go a 7m or a bigger, I guess the 7m will be cheaper and its funner then mowing the lawn in 12 knots.
