I ride 13 and 9 HadlowPro's and a 7m 2006 Yarga. What size is mostly used during these months. How many sessions a week will I be looking at? Also what kind of suit do you guys recommend. Would a 6/5/4 Semidry wetsuit with a hood work well?

6/5/4 is overkill, I think most people get by fine with a 5/4 even during the dead of winter, and often without a hood!

Thats wicked I was almost thinking drysuit. Haha I think my new home was a good choice. I'd like to be able to get out 2 or 3 times a week if I can and I hope thats possible. Will there be many of you around the Cook Dallas beach in the spring/fall/winter?

Well quite a few people use those OR drysuits as well. I suppose it is a matter of preference.

There are always (well pretty much always) people at Cook street if its windy.

Your kite sizes are about right ... Our most CONSISTENT winds are summer afternoon West thermals ~ 15-25 knots ...@ ~ 185 I use my 10 most often & an 8, 6 & 14 round out my quiver ( a lot of us locals use O.R. Rise kites as they are designed & marketed locally)
