Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.
Flysurfer : 19m Speed 2 SA, 7m Pulse
Peter Lynn :18m Phantom, 15m Synergy, 10m Synergy, 1200 Farc, 460 Sarc, 130 Tarc, 5m Peel, 4.2m , 6.4, 8.5 C-Quads, 3.5 LS2 single skin.

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.
