"Hi,

My name is Gonzalo, I lived in miami a few month last year
and because all the crandom park kiters I start kitesurfing
here in argentina. Now I`m moving back to miami and I would
like if someone can help me with the size of kite I`m going
to need there. I`m 95 KG (200 Lb) incase someone ask. I know
I have to loose some!!!!. Please I will appreciate the
information. Some here recomended me a 16 or 18 mts, is that
right? "

Hello Gonzalo,

Most kiteboarders need at least two kites sometimes more to cover variable winds that blow through from now until the useable wind largely shuts off usually sometime in May. Some of the bow kites around 16 m may give you a particularly wide range at your weight. Otherwise, in C kites you might want something around 12 and 16 to 18 m. Somedays you may want a 9 m C in the odd strong cold front.
