I've just ordered a 3.3m flexifoil sting. I already have a kiteboard, will this kite be suitable? ThanksB-Roc - 11-3-2010 at 10:09 AM
Its going to have to be if you've ordered it ;-)
Any kite will work in the right conditions. I have spent a lot of time boarding with my 2.5 JOJO ET. I weigh 145#s and have used that with my board
and skis in winds from 15 - 30mph. Your 3.3 will have a similar useable range depending upon your weight and winds.dylanj423 - 11-3-2010 at 10:10 AM
it is a decent starter kite... you will no doubt want more in you have just picked up the sport. you will find what you really want through trial and
error. flexi makes good kites...
your conditions are going to influence your decisions more than anything else, as will chosen activities
buggying... boarding.... surfing.... freestyle.... beach.... grass.... inland.... coastal... all these things determine what will be suitableacampbell - 11-3-2010 at 12:43 PM
+1 for Dylan. Sting 3.3 is a good first kite in any event. Where will you be riding?wind-dave - 11-3-2010 at 01:38 PM
I've been power kiting for almost three years and I just bought a 3.3 Sting on this forum. It's also a great kite for skateboard kiting.
Have fun with it Harry.Kamikuza - 11-3-2010 at 06:31 PM
I got going on hard-pack dirt with the 3.5 in probably 15+ knots. There's video of it around somewhere ...

LMAO the first 2 min I find hilarious. Can see the confusion in your hands HAHAKamikuza - 11-3-2010 at 07:00 PM
Then you'd enjoy the Kitewing movie I took when the strap snapped and I spent what seems like 10 minutes looking back and forth between the car (miles
away) and the small grassed area (somewhat closer) trying to decide if I could fix it without going back to the Kuza-wagon
