Heya, I'm moving to Melbourne in May and I was wondering what kitesize would be preferable for a 65kg person. I have to choose between two ozone C4. it's either gonna be a 9m or 12m kite.

Mostly 15-20 sometimes 25 or more. depends if you want to be over or underpowered, at your weight I would go the 9, most others would use a 12.

Are you just warning me about the cold or should I be calculating with 65 +10kg, because of all the stuff I'll be wearing?

At 65 Kg the 9 meter will be ok. The weather in Melbourne during the winter the winds change a lot in one day. Start saving up for another kite if you want to kite on your day off. If is summer I will buy a 12 meter and if is winter I will buy a 7 meter . Read about kites surfing in Melbourne on this website www.peterskiteboarding.com/p/melbourne-kitesurfing.html Cheers
