I just finished 4 hours of lessons and I am stoked to go get my kite. I was a little apprehensive at first thinking I was going to get pulled to my death but once I started trusting myself some I was really surprised how fast I progressed. I will be boarding here in San Diego and have been looking at the 16m Liquid Force Sessions for $529 (with bar and lines), or I can get a T3 15m for 775(with bar and lines). What do you think my best choice would be? Or is there another kite that you like better? Im 6'2" 220. Thanks

Im also a noob to this. but i do like the slingshot T3. Probably because I'm a slingshot kind of guy.

The T3 is a 14m not a 15m, it is a pretty grunty kite, but take it out of the 2:1 and put it in 1:1.
