Hello,
I will come in Brisbane for 2 years, and I will arrive in june.
I have already 2 sails: 9m² and 12 m².
I want to buy a smaller one.
Do you think it is useless or not ?
I think this a better to buy a smaller one: which size should I buy regarding the wind force around Brisbane:: 6m² or 7m² ?

Hi Mate
I don't think you will get much time on your 7m in QLD unless you're thinking of changing to a surf board. Average wind here is 12-25 knots in summer and not much wind in winter. Having said that, winter wind is likely to be very gusty and very variable, 18 knots with 26 gusts one minute and 8 knots only 9 minutes later was recorded this weekend.

In my opinion, bring your 9 & 12 then later in the year you could always add a smaller or larger kite either 2nd hand or new from one of the local stores. If you were going to Perth I would have said "leave the 12 at home and bring a 6m"

Hope this helps
