Hey guys,
i know this has probably been asked a thousand times. Just moved over here from the east coast and by the sounds of things am gonna need to down size come summer. So just wondering on average the best size kite for those summer seabreezes. I'm 65kg and have been told i probably want a 7 or 9 i can only buy one so whats gonna be best [}:)] CHEERS!

do all WA kiters agree that if they could only buy 1 new kite would the 8 be the go for someone 65-70kgs and intermediate riding level.???

Weird season last summer. Less overall knots and more 'holes' than I reacall from prev years.
No winds at all this wineter virtually.
At 65kgs I would have said go the 7m. Prob still the best option but if you have access to an 8m consider it.
