Hi,
My weight is 57 kg and wonder what sizes I should get if I'm buying RPM 2011.
Should I get a 6m2 and a 9m2 or 6m2 and a 10m2?

it depends where you ride and in what wind.....
but I brought a 6 & 10 and found there was not enough overlap. so i got the 8 as well

I am 80 kg an have a rebel 8 and rpm 10. Too much overlap.
At 60kg I think a 6 and 9 would be sweet. The 10 is my main kite on a tt in Perth so a 9 will get 60kgs out in 15 plus knots

6,8 & 9 are the sweetest sizes. The 10 comes with 23m lines and is more for unhooked tricks rather than pure freestyle. I had an 8 and 10m, I dont have the 10 any more. Any C shaped kite over 10m just doesnt have the balls out performance that you want from such a kite. They do such sweet kiteloops.

What part of the country do you live. What wind range will you be using it in, How long have you been kiting?

As the others say, Its a factor of "Average Winds" in your area and your weight.
but 6 and 9 sounds good if your in Melbourne Victoria which averages 16-25 in summer.
Ps I have ridden nothing but a 10.5m (i'm 68kg) for 2 seasons. Definitley need smaller kites in W.A. I am just about to buy an 8m in able do surf (with bigger boards) and more advanced/unhooked tricks.
