Looking for my first Depower

So this is my first post on the forum but i have read dozens of other similar posts. So lets get down to it, Im looking for my first depower kite. I weigh 145 lbs, the winds are usually between 7-15 mph and im inland so its gusty. I mainly landboard but in the winter I will snowkite, did I mention its gusty because i got an example for you. The wind speeds this morning were 14mph with 32mph gusts. With that in mind i want to start trying to jump on my landboard. I currently have a HQ rush pro 350 and it can pull me along and what not but doesn't have power to get me airborne(or I'm not doing it right). I often fly alone so i need something that can be launched and landed solo. I ride in a fairly large park on a big grass field that's not the smoothest. Okay i hope that's enough information for someone to give me some ideas.

Oh and I'm a graduate student so it has to be on the cheaper side, so used is probably my best bet.
