just wondering whats a good kite size when your starting out .... keep missing out on trainer kites

Hey! Depends on how much you weigh and what conditions you get at your local spot. Im about 70kg and use a 10m switchblade and kite down at st kilda beach most of the time. If it gets above 25knots i can get over powered but most times im out it does me just fine, even in low wind conditions.

So if i was you take this as a starting guide...
- How much do you weigh
- Average wind conditions where you go

And talk to your local shop they usually have a good idea of the local conditions and a good place to start out.

Hope that helps

Enjoy

Get down to your local shop and get a lesson from that you should learn about local conditions and be given good advice on kite sizes for you weight etc, as well as a better understanding of the sport..
