it sounds like you have not a lot of experience but the experience you did have was with n62 and ozone light.
When or if you switch to C kite (or C4), for the same wind you want 1 or 2m more kite size.
Get the 13 C4 for low end.
Or get a bow size 12.
have fun.

Is it necessary to upgrade to the bar that comes with the C4? Or could I get away with using Ozone's 09 bar?

There is no need to shorten the bar, Loopit it did this as a personal preference. You can ride it with the 2009 bar no problem but the 2010 bar is much nicer due to the bigger hole and I like the grip too.

Hi,
I have decided to buy 2 C4's tomorrow...I am advanced rider of 75Kg.
We usualy have between18 to-27 knots winds.
At present, I am riding a Torch 10m 2009, and over 25 knots it is getting too strong to get unhooked.
So I wanted to add a 7m to my guiver, but I have read that the 9 m had a super high end (What about unhooked? how far you can handle it)
What size would you recommend me? 7m and 10m or 9m and 11m or 12m
Cheers!

Hi go for the 10 and 7m, the 9 can handle it but not for begin comfortable unhooked, from 18 knots and your weight you will be having a lot of fun on the 10m, you can start riding in lower wind with it too, maybe 15 knots. The 7m will see you riding all the way up until it gets too sore to stand on the beach.
Cheers Iain

11 and 7....otherwise with 10m you are not well powered in 15 Knots.
It's alwais better a little more power than get angry on the beach
With 11 you are sure from 15 to 23-24 knots....
