-one guy maybe 80kg Tall /thin guy, not sure..

they want to buy one kite to share for their road trip,

What would you suggest?

Depends how far north you are talking.
Once you get past Turtlehunters territory (Exmouth) then you will be needing 12M and up.
A big ask wanting 1 kite for 2 people different weights when you are talking Nth in WA. its a BIG coastline.

Now

Perth to At least Exmouth i'd say.

They can only afford one kite.

You will need to cover a huge wind range with only one kite. If they must take just one kite the Cab Crossbow has probably the largest wind range so yes a 10 would work, and they could take it out in some very strong winds it their board skills are good. Trouble is they will then have to kite with a Crossbow
