I’m similar weight and reckon an 8m Airush Ultra would be pretty epic. It would give the power like a normal 9m (or more) for the bottom end, but they have a massive de-power with a very capable top end, resulting in a huge range! I recently got a 7 and a 10 which easily cover me from about 12 knots...

The 10m got a great review by iksurfmag, sounds perfect as a foiling kite too.

If you want to hear why these kites could well be the future and significantly better than anything else for general freeride, wave and foil, check out this audio from the UK’s Mike Birt (it’s about 30min but very interesting! The section on the Ultra starts about 20min in). - https://player.fm/seri...

I bought some new kites recently. Tricky decision on what to get, but I went with the single strut Airush Ultra v2, in a 7m and 10m. I don’t like being super powered up, and ideally these kites will cover me from 12-25 knots (the conditions I like to kite in!). I am a 70kg intermediate kiter, enjoyi...
