firstly if you havent already check here:
http://www.cabrinhakites.com/wind-range-chart.html

From riding the 09 cab IDS 12m i have taken it to about 23-25 knots and i am around 65kgs (fully depowerd)

For someone around 94kgs i would say the 12m would take you from 18 to 25 knots with ease.

One question, what are the average wind speeds in SA?

Adelaide winds like anywhere vary heaps with the season.....winter has seen stonking northerlies and now hopefully summer will deliver our gentler seabreezes...

My 09 had me out in up to 35knots but I wont say it was comfortable.....100kg rider up and planing at about 15-18 knots...

i'm 110kg and was riding 2006 152 underground and 2010 12m sb at kurnell in 15/16kn ne the other day. no probs getting around and getting upwind was no difficulty. its a nice kite. for me 20 to 30 would be great wind on that kite.
