Hi there, I am planning on heading over to Geraldton, WA this summer for a couple of months to kite and would like to know what you recommendations would be for kite sizes. I am an intermediate kiter and weigh 86kg. I have been flying 14-16m bow kites in winds between 12-16kts, however I have sold it as I was fed up of light wind kiting where I live. I expect that kite would be too big for Gero, so I was wondering what you think.

I am trying to decide between 12m, 10.5m and 9m SLE on a twintip board.

Thanks for your input!

If I had 1 kite in gero for summer i'd go the small kite for sure.

Personally i've spent 6 days kiting near gero, and out of that i spent 5.5 days on my 7m and about half an hour on my 10m.
