Big guy needs 1st kite


Hi
I need advice on what to get for snowkiting
Just moved to northern Wyoming and want to take advantage of the wind
I weigh 250lbs so I expect I will need a big kite
I'm pretty athletic so I'm not afraid to start out with an intermediate or advanced kite
But how big and what kind of setup should I start with
I've not seen anyone around here flying kites so I plan to get one this summer and figure it out on my own before next winter
I'll appreciate any advice you have

Sorry, don't advise starting with a big depowerable kite, I'd go with a cheaper 3-4m kite, if you're level headed and have lower winds, maybe a 4-5m kite, Radsails, Buster II's or Beamers are all good choices, resale on them isn't bad either, so use them to learn, then buy what you need after.

I'm the same weight and get a lot of use out of my 5m foils.
