Default After a bit of info please

To learn to fly a kite as a beginner what size would you guys recommend ?
Had interest in kites (brother has as well) over the last few years but never done anything about it. The buggy thing is something to progress to but want to learn the fundamentals of the kites first (common sense approach ?).
Been reading some of the forums & as you guys have found there is not one kite for all conditions. As you have been through the learning stages already I am hoping you can steer me in the right direction

Cheers Andy.
