Kite size?
I'm looking for a kite to use in the 12-18 knot range on the atb and static. Prefer depower as it's easier on my hands.
There are sometimes I would rather do slides with the atb without the lift of the 11m Frenzy. I don't have access to other kites.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I would have suggested about 10m.
If you find the 11m too big then it sounds like you are after a 10m Access. ( 9m Apex ? ) They have less lift.
11 seems a good size for those winds? That is the sweet spot for my 15m Synergy. It isn't too lifty unless you spank it. Then :wee:
Kites: 2.5m Profoil , Quadrifoil XL kitesurfer, NPW 5 Danger.
Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.

The 11 is new to me and fly in the lightest wind possible. I feel the potential for big air.
Guess I should be asking about a smaller for higher winds that over laps into that range for that purpose.
I look at the quivers and try to figure out what I should be looking at. With winter coming, now seems a good
time.

Try a 6 meter Gin Yeti which should fly like your Frenzy. Look for ** Gin Yeti 6m & 4.5m depower foils ** in for sale section
I love Nahant but rarely get there anymore.
Skis, skates, coyotes, buggy, Beamer 1.8, Apex 3III,'Flow 3 & 5, Peak1 6 & 9, Venom1 10 & 12. Wings Wings Wings.
