Quick Bio:
Way back before kiteboarding was popular in Florida, I discovered it in France. I ended up buying a 6 meter Seismick kite. I used it a few times, but usually when there was wind there was also surf so I would end up surfing. I also never mastered going up wind with it so I felt like I always needed a boat around. Well this was a pain so I never caught on to it. Well now kites are much larger and MUCH MUCH cheaper. I am thinking its a good time to get back into the sport.
I want a kite that I can use in most conditions. I wont be able to use it too much, but I am willing to sacrifice some performance for a kite thats better all around( but probably more on lower wind conditions). I have plenty of wakeboards and some surfboards with straps, and a harness. I would like to incorporate some wake tricks in kiteboarding, and also need a kite I can operate myself if the need be. I looked quickly on craigslist and found a few larger kites for cheap, and relatively new. Why is this? Back when I bought my 6 meter it was expensive as hell, and then prices dropped when it started booming in Florida (like $1400 for a 10 meter). Would something like this be good?:
