Something to be aware of with wind meters is that you are measuring the wind at ground level and often the wind is stronger up higher.

Is the 5m Beamer usually the right size for your typical wind ? If so something like that 9m Frenzy may work well. If it is sometimes too big then get something a bit smaller like maybe the 7m Pulse on here. If it is often too small then something a bit bigger like 10 - 12m may be better?

I have a biased opinion but think the 7m Pulse ( love mine ) on here is an amazing deal on a depower kite.
