What would you buy?

So I have about AU$1000 to spend on gear, and am trying to decide what I should get. I would appreciate any ideas.

First, some background. I am a novice / intermediate kiter, happy on the sea, but not a wave rider per say. Generally I go through the waves and kite on the ocean. I can happily go upwind and have recently started jumping. I can't ride toeside yet, but am actively trying to learn it. Confident on the ocean and in gusty conditions.

I have a X-Bow 3 9m, Switchblade III 14m and Crossbow I 16m. the 14m is the kite I ride most often, and after a season, it is no longer 'crisp', but no other damage to it. Not happy with the 16m as it has high bar pressure, and takes too long to rig up - it is not single pump.

I am about 100 kgs and live on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, so often only have around 10 - 14 knots wind.

I ride an Airush Exile 145 x 45 twintip.

So, now, what would you buy?

Option 1: get a lightwind kite such as a Contra 3 17 m to give me more days when I can kite. I would sell the 16m. I have found a new contra for around $1000.

Option 2: replace the 14m as it is not in the best condition with something like it but maybe the IDS version.

Option 3: Get a directional kiteboard and learn to ride toeside. Something that has decent floatation for lightwind days - any advice on what to get would be appreciated.

Thanks for reading my ramblings.

option 4 .take up lawn bowls (not enough wind )

get on a surfboard and get rid of the 16
get a good 13m kite with the surfbaord and learn to ride it
twin tips are so dumb in the surf
