Ok, here's the questions accompanied by the conditions:
Criteria:
I'm 195 lbs (89 kg).
38 years old, former college athelete, (but probably more of an athelete in my mind these days.)
We have limited areas for kites and sailing (similar to a soccer field).
No sand or beaches, it's all grass.
Typical wind conditions will be 10-15mph (21 kph)
I'm willing to learn to jump, etc, and the whole lift thing has me intrigued.
Question 1:
DoomWheels vs. a landboard?
Question 2:
Kite size? My only experience so far is with a Crossfire 3.2 quad-line.
It's a friend's, and he's got me hooked.
So based upon the above info, your opinions please.
I don't have the motive or the space to set speed records, but I'd like to get airborne if possible.

i have limited experance in kiting
the first kite i bought was a crossfire 4.0m this kite has good power and lift. excellent kite for the money and you will get air.
If you have more cash then the Flexifoil Blade 4.0m has got a little bit more lift. i would go with a landboard.
hope its a help
