I'm working up in hedland and the conditions are great up here for kite boarding. I'm about 93kgs and I'm not sure what size kite I should get. I'd say the wind average is about 20knts up here, some times lower, some times higher.

Thanx all

Yep - 1 kite quiver would have to be around a 10 or maybe consider 12 just to cover your weight - 10 better imo if you are experienced enough to make the most of a smaller kite otherwise a 12 would probably have you out & progressing more often.
If ur into surfing the 10M BWS would be a good pick - covers for 12 pretty well. Otherwise Id suggest a Delta - more user friendly & more allrounders.
