Support the locals. OR makes an excellent kite + you can get loads of advice on tuning it. If you need repairs, no need to ship it away. Oh yes, they also make a top notch kite.

For any beginner
There are a ton of used kites around that would serve your purpose.
Yes New is nice but unneccessary.
Good Luck

Hey,
Totally agree with Penguin, any reason why such a big kite? A 16m is a big kite unless your a big person (heh like me!). Most of the wind around the island people sail 10-14m kites in the summer and typically smaller in the winder due to storm winds, which definately tend to be gustier. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me either in this forum or private message.

I would be careful with the 16m One. I've heard it's slow to fly and not a great light wind kite (a big guys kite). They are supposed to be making a 14m next year.
