I'm going to be living in Sydney for the next few years and I am curious what the wind is typically like. I'm 75kg riding a TT and want some advice on the best kite size(s) that will get me on the water most days. Right now I'm looking at getting a Park 12m and 8m.

Ive got an 8 and a 12 too. You'll use the 12 most of the time. Winter is all about surfing and not kiting, but in summer you can kite every few days.

Really? I've been following the weather forecast here on Seabreeze and it seems like Sydney Airport has been getting decent wind, averaging around 15-20 knots in the afternoon some days. Is seabreeze just being a tease?[}:)]

Check the actual wind after the forecast. Alot of the Nor Easters showing up at the moment are frontal nor easters and not Seabreezes. They are a tease. - In a few weeks though this should turn around. -

75kg - 10/11 Size Kite will get you going in most of the seabreezes. - They normally range betwwen 18-25knots, so should get you out on most days. 8or 9m would be great to have on those extra stronger breezes.


Goodluck
