One-kite quiver?

Kitesurfing shop talk

So it looks like I'm heading back to the Lower Mainland for a few months this winter and I'm wondering, if I can convince the wife to let me buy a new kite(s), which size to get?

Approx. 160lbs, intermediate rider. I was thinking a 10m, but not sure what sort of winds to expect from Jan-April. I would mostly be kiting 3rd Beach I think?

Thanks,
Andrew

I would suggest something highish aspect about 8m for you for that period for a 1 kite quiver.

Liquid Force NRG 8m would cover you from 15 - 35 if you are willing to work the kite. Real has one on for $400 USD right now, can't beat that.
