Default Kite Opinion

Hey everyone,
Ive been looking through this forum for a while and have always been interested in kiteboarding.
I finally got around to getting some lessons here in Miami and also got a trainer kite (Best 3m). Also, I've spend a whole lot of time online trying to learn as much as I can...even when I'm at work... Like I am now.

Now I'm looking to get some equipment. There are 2 kites that I have been looking at.
The Best Waroo (12) and the Naish Shockwave (12)
And I was given a Naish Haze 133.

what do you guys think? Which would be ideal for a beginner with previous wakeboarding experience? Ive been looking for a kite that is good enough to last past the beginner stage.
From what I have been told and read, a 12 kite and a 133 board is good for Miami wind and for my size (5'9" 160lbs).

Do you have any other suggestions about size, kites and boards?
I heard Cabrinha is a great brand, but its a little to expensive. Hope to hear from you guys. Anything you can tell me would appreciated.
