Hi Annaspanna,

A7m or 8m kite would be ideal for the mid summer winds and a 9m for the early and late sessions when the wind isn't so strong.

Lancelin can get VERY windy. It usually exhibits the same timing and wind strength of the wind at Rottnest. (5 knots stronger than Perth Beaches)

Be careful!
