Am moving to Brisbane shortly from the UK and am wondering about suitable kite sizes...
Got a quiver of 2011 Cabrinha kites: 14m Switchblade and Nomads in 11m, 9m and 7m. The 11 + 9 + 7 are in reality more like 10 + 8 + 6 in size with the way they fly and depower etc.
I'm wondering if I need the smaller kites in Brisbane / QLD and perhaps should sell them? I visited briefly in Feb. and it seemed 12m to 14m was the 'average' size and I think read that really windy days (like here in UK) just don't really happen down there. I weigh 77kg and use boots some of the time and like to ride powered up etc.
Tips appreciated!

Hi mate!
Welcome to Brisbane~^^ Its beautiful city.
There are few spots in Brisbane(Victoria point, wellington point) but most of time going to Gold coast or Brighton areas.
I recomment 11+9 and I think 14 or 7...hardly use, take 14 as well if you can.
Nomad 11, yes, its like 10.
Hope you organize well and nice trip
SEE YA!

I'm 100kg and I got more use from my 17m than my 11m last season.
But there were a few small kite days here and there, I just couldn't catch them.
