Hi everyone

I am from Perth but have lived the last 8 years in the Channel Islands, UK.

Back in Perth for 2 weeks over the new year an want to bring the right size kites (obviously).

I have been riding for 2 years and a confident rider. My quiver constist of 14m, 12m, 9m, 7m.

Any suggestions on the best 2 to bring?

Cheers

What type of kites do you own?
What weight?

Id suggest for standard 85kg rider to bring the 9 and 12m for riding twintip on the Perth sea breezes.
7 and 9 for surfboard.

I have 14m 2009 Vegas, 12m 2015 North Rebel, 2013 9m Evo.

I am 90kg and have a twintip no surfboard.

Any good spots apart from point walter, woodies and saftey bay in the Perth area?

A downwinder more than newschool. But getting out there for a jump about sound great.
