I've spent two weeks last august, always pumped my 7. Never been in November, anyway I will probably go for 7+9. I'm 75 kgs. riding a tt.

Re: Kite size for Maui in November
no room for a 7? come on that's a carry on!
anyway nov is not as crazy windy as summer. for me the 9 is always the money kite in maui and you could have a great year with only 1 kite.
if I had to bring 2 in summer it's 7-9 and fall 9-12 as it's a bit lighter than summer. but it also depends on your board and riding styles as the swell has arrived.

Re: Kite size for Maui in November
We have been having some strange weather lately, lots of non kiting days. If its like that a 12 is not going to help you. Maui is a strange place with lots of strong gusty days. I personally never use anything bigger than a 10 and spend most my time on an 8. I'm 170 lbs and ride a TT. I would bring the 7 9 as you are more likely going to use the 7 than the 12.
