Hi guys,

I am choosing some kites to buy and was hoping for some advice.

I am 70 kgs, usually kite in brighton, or st kilda VIC, so small chop or flat, I ride a stonker kx137, but plan to get a ~132 more freestyle board soon (if anyone is selling for a good price, let me know)

I have a 12m shockwave which is good for lighter wind days but I was over powered on friday night (maybe 22-25 knts)

I am looking at a 9m 2009 helix, but am worried it is too small to get much use out of, am I right (i am used to older C kites so dont know much about SLEs sizing/power), I used to have a 12m 2005 Cabrinha CO2 and loved it, always seemed to be the right kite for the conditions

Thanks all

just looking into board lengths and came accross this

It appears that only suckers pay for their boards, this guy seems to look pretty cool with his own stuff.

I particularly like the board leash
