Thanks for the input everyone! What wing size do you think I should start with? Most of the wind around here is light. I kite in 8/9 to 22knots most of the time. Was thinking a 6m for light stuff and maybe a 4m later on ?
Well, sounds "right".
BUT, a 5 m2 is the sweet size, that can go quite low, and not feel big.
Any 6 m2 will feel big.
And a 4 needs some wind, so you might regret not having a 5 when 75 kg.
I did, thought I could use 6 and 4, no way, and bought a 5 which is my most used size now, almost same weight as you.
Something to think about, as you are avoiding the sweetspot size IMO.
On the other hand, when learned and if you keep your really big foilwing, you could maybe use the 4 m2 quite early
