Help picking out a first kite

[lostwake]

Basically I am unsure of what a good kite budget and experience are factors. I can self launch my trianer and fly it with ease and I feel it is time for a real kite. I have been told to get lessons over and over but I just can't afford it, I am going to have to borrow money from my parents just to get the gear. I have been sailing for 6 years and wakeboarding for about 5. I am about 5'7" and 130 pounds. the average winds here are 8-12 kts. I have been told you want to start with a small kite and big board. Do you have any recommendations on what to buy or what to look for.

Thanks
