Howdy,
I am still fussing about and yet to upgrade.. soon grasshopper (where the kn hell is that tax return??)
One Q? I have is what size kite is generally handy in Perth's winter?
Most likely I will be riding Pinnaz or possibly the more turbulent side of mocean.
I am undecided whether to go for a 7/11m or 9/11m combo for my next kites. (EDIT: I am looking at hybrid/SLEs)
BTW - I am 85 kgs on a 136cm twinny.
Whadddaya reckon 7-8m for winter or stick to a 9m?
cheers

Hey GF,
The 7 is a must for winter and 11 for everything else more sedate.
I think I still have a 7m Edge II for sale cheap (new).
Good winds,
