Hi there

looking for some advice on what size to get as a second kite. I have a 12m SB, weight 92Kg, beginner/intermediate. I usually go to the river but would like to go more often to the ocean.

not sure between a 8m or 9m. What do you reckon?

Any advice appreciated.

^^^agree with Dusta go the 9m, I have the 12m 2009 SB, and a 9m 2010 SB, used the 9m this season, as much, if not more than the 12m.
As you progress you will become more effecient and will get away with a smaller Kite, plus the 2010's are gruntier than the 2009's.
Just had a look at, and ordered an 11m 2011 xbow for next season, kite looks wicked, and has a better than bar and lines than the 2010.
