Kiteboarding in panhandle question.

[Homey]

I am a relative noob. I currently ride a 9 meter Omega in 15-25mph winds.

I am wanting to kite while in Destin this summer. I am needing to buy a light wind kite for down there I assume. Can someone tell me what size is good for riding in the panhandle area in summertime??

I am thinking a 14m or 17m, but a guy here in Oklahoma says that kites that big are a waste of time. Can everybody give me some input on the size of kite for Destin area. Also, can you recommend some good light wind kites?

Thanks

What is your weight? What size board(s) do you have? Once you pass on that info, we can help you out.

I am about 175 pounds without gear. I currently have a small board 140cm x 37cm. How big of a board should I get???

Thanks
