That's because 12 mtr is the most common size for a 1st kite so my advice would be to persist in your search for a used 12 mtr obviously a used Core would be my favourite (since I sell them)but there are lots of others around that would suit, just try and avoid 5 line kites, foils or aggressive C style kites.Yuvallahav wrote: ↑Thu Sep 20, 2018 12:12 pmI seem to be finding a lot of kites on sale (facebook marker and ebay) for the 11 meter, and can't find almost any 12 meters kite. Would an 11 meters be a good compromise for the first year of kiting? And yeah, I live in central Italy, so warm weather, and a temperate winter.
You can get going in 8kts on a 11 with 65kg?CaptainCore wrote: ↑Thu Sep 20, 2018 12:43 pmThat's because 12 mtr is the most common size for a 1st kite so my advice would be to persist in your search for a used 12 mtr obviously a used Core would be my favourite (since I sell them)but there are lots of others around that would suit, just try and avoid 5 line kites, foils or aggressive C style kites.Yuvallahav wrote: ↑Thu Sep 20, 2018 12:12 pmI seem to be finding a lot of kites on sale (facebook marker and ebay) for the 11 meter, and can't find almost any 12 meters kite.

Edit, just noticed you're (like me) 65 kilos so you could get away with an 11, but the flip side makes it that much more difficult to move on when you change kite.
