A lot of my kite selection choice is based on personal preference for a particular kite, rather than the most appropriate size for the wind conditions. For example, in 8-9 m wind conditions, I'd rather fly my 10m because it's a better kite for me. On a 16 m wind day, I'll choose my 14m with a larger board (same reason - I just like the 14 m better). If I travel, I'll almost always choose to take the 14m and 10m and a smallish TT. I can cover most wind conditions with those 2 kites.

10m and 14m is the best two-kites combination for Florida. You catch about 90% of the wind.
I used to have 9 and 12, but I was using the 9 very little.
And when riding the 12, if I was lit, I had the felling I could be having more fun on a 10. And when underpowered, I wanted to be on a 14.
