You will ride the 10 the most its awsome have not ridden the 14 but the 12 is pretty good ,

at 90kg's i wouldn't want a 10m to be my main kite, you'd be well underpowered majority of time

I am 80kg and ride 12 and 9.

Agree with Ewan - the 14/10/7 would be the best combo to maximise your riding time.

You would be surprised I have been riding 10m rebel and 7m Vegas for the past 12 months and would have got probably more time on the water than 90% of riders in Melbourne,

north kites are very grunty

I think you'll find the rebel has got a lot more low end than the vegas.

Agreed and only just found this out. I'm 85kg and was staying upwind (just mind you) on 148cm CB wave in 13-16 knots on a damn 8m!!

I agree but the Vegas is much faster an you can generate power through apparent wind

I would hope 14m Vegas has the same if not more bottom end than 10m rebel does anyone have any experience with the 14?
