I've been trying to learn on a 16m2 in 10 - 15 knot California conditions. I've been getting body draged around, hindenburged in low winds and pulled over my board in high winds.
I stepped down to a 12m2 in the same conditions and it made all the difference. Though sometimes underpowered, I've been getting longer rides and am starting to go upwind now. I'm dropping my kite a lot less as well.
I know this is probably basic for most of you but I just wanted to share my two cents with newbies like myself.
