For your first rides......do not use a fast kite, like a Ozone Edge or any other race kite.
Whatever size you choose you'll be way happier if the kite is slow, stable, and stays in the air in light wind conditions. You want to focus on foiling and not have to think about the kite.
I've found that wave kites work good in the beginning.........
