Kites come in different sizes from as small as 2 square metre trainers all the way up to 25 square metre light wind behemoths. The sizes of kites you use is determined by the body weight of the rider and more so, the wind strength. Light winds utilize large kites and strong winds use smaller kites. The average kite's wind range is based on a 75 kilo rider. A 75 kilo rider in Perth would expect to buy a 10-12 metre traditional "C" kite first or around a 10m Hybrid or "Bow" kite, which will get them out and happening in most of Perth's seas breezes throughout summer.
