New Kite Buyer

brplatz - 25-7-2009 at 10:29 PM

Hey all I have been searching a reading quite a bit recentley on the possible purchase of a power kite.

As a beginner i see that a kite, 2-4m size is most likely in the works, but I'm not sure which would be best for me?

I am 5'8" about 145lbs, Athletic

I live in new mexico and all we get is some nice canyon winds in the afternoon and dusk.

I was looking at HQ Beamers, but not sure if i want to drop $300 right away. Damn hobbies are expensive i guess;-)

Much thanks,
Brian

U can't cant go wrong with a hornet or a beAmer for your first kite. If your finding around where you live you have strong winds get 3m or 2m ( 3m lol) but if your have very week pathetic winds get a 4m. Remember to start slow

I found a Used 3.0M Beamer on Dakitez website, which is looking quite appealing. I think ill go with that one as it seems to be a great deal.

Thanks,
Brian

Well I just purchased the 3M Beamer IV off of Dakites website. What a fantastic guy, really great to work and deal with.
:thumbup::thumbup: to him!

Looking forward to flying soon!
