At the beach a few days ago

shoulder high waves and 13-17 kts winds side/on

2 guys both around 80+ kg give or take 5 kg, both were supa good kiters

1 guy 5m North Evo and a mini tanker maybe 6.6 by 22 and thick and very floaty strapless

1 guy 17m Ozone Edge and a small twin tip with straps

5m guy was continually agressively moving the kite,looping to the left,looping to the right,did not stop moving the kite was all over the waves, was using the waves and whitewash as much as the kite to keep powered up,was charging,was good to watch

17m guy was just criusing, park and ride,floating over the whitewash and waves with ease and boosting doing the odd slow back roll,was good to watch

two completely different styles,1 guy is riding underpowered and 1 riding powered up,both were charging and having heaps of fun

Was a 5m 6m 8m 9.5m 12m and 17m out on the same day

We had days where I'd be on a 12 cat and wind is pumping 17 to 27 knots and other kiter flying 7 to 10s other days I'd be on a 17 while others on a 11 and 14
I'm only 65kg with a 135 tt plus a beginner lol
