new to kiting

Hi,

I've been wanting to get into kiting for quite some time. Now I finally have time/money to do it and am looking for my first kite. I really want to do jumping tricks, snowkiting and kiteboarding. I was thinking of a kite somewhere between 3-5m, as from what I’ve read that size would still be manageable for learning safely enough, but allow me some jumping as well. I want to do landjumping, and snowkiting this winter. I would like to do kiteboarding come spring as well. It would be ideal to have something that would allow me all three, but I understand the importance of really learning everything on a smaller and more controlled kite first, and that one kite might not work for all three of those.
I've been doing lots of reading, but it's a whole new world and it can get overwhelming to know what kite sizes and models would be best.

Thanks!
