For here, it'd be a Speed4 or Sonic 15

9m not too fussed about the brand there are lots of good ones out there, but a 9m and surfboard gets me out in most conditions.

I'd agree it would either be 10 or 12 and my kite of choice would be my Starkites Taina.

Why.

A, I love it

B, In all honesty I don't have anything to compare it to as I've not ridden a different kite for some years now
BigPaul,

In so many ways I am envious of that. I have ridden so many kites that I can't be satisfied to stay on any one of them for any length of time! Every time I decide that I am going to ride them till they get destroyed, I have new ones lined up. What you are doing my friend is a beautiful thing!
