You're about 63kg so at your weight yes.

Just in general (so not Enduro specific), if you ride a fairly efficient surfboard like an Evo, and at your weight, I would go for 10-8-6 and save the money of the 12 for a kite trip to a windy place, or for a foil.

No need to save any money, the next couple of weeks are looking 'tasty'.

Right then, got the 6/8/10/12m and first time out was on the 6m!
Wind was 25-28 knots. Kite flew smooth as butter and depowered really nicely, could certainly take another 5 knots. You can just sheet out, park it, and it just stays there. Boring maybe but that's the way it should be. With three struts and no pulleys what's not to like? Less is more.
Then the kite slowly folded and fell out of the sky!
Hadn't screwed the valve in properly so the kite deflated!

Hi , recent Tests on Enduro V2 Suggest that the Enduro V2 is an Awesome kite. V1 was great and the build quality superb. Only concern is that the Ozone Contact bar has 25m Lines , which are not ideal for kite loops .

Ozone do SK99 20m, 23m, 25m and 27m lines. I've used 23m lines but generally prefer the 25m lines.

I thought that if you ordered a colour from Ozone's available 8 colour choices you didn't pay extra but had to wait longer because they're made-to-order? That's what I did and I didn't pay extra.

How is Ozone enduro doing in a low wind condition?

How low is "low wind" for you?
