A good 'smaller kite'

tripod - 16-8-2005 at 11:52 AM

I recently purchades a bullet 3.5m and im kinda getting the hang of it, im only using it in light winds at the moment though untill i get better with it, i recently went out in stonger winds than im used to and boy did it drag me around.

What would be a good 'smaller/easier' kite be to get to fly in the stronger winds...untill i get better with the bullet?

Is it better to go for a smaller 4 line? I hear the Peter lyn pepper and the hq beamer are meant to be quite good (are they?)

Or would it be better to go for a flexifol proteam8/ super 10 so i have more of a choice depending on weather conditions etc

the beamer II are good kites to learn with i have a 2.5 mertre beamer II and is very easy to fly and very responsive for some one who is on a learning curve. in stronger winds it can generate a good amount of power to keep you on yor toes and enough power for a bit of scudding around a very good leaner kite.

Beamer 3.6 is a great kite, I use it as my high wind kite on Snowboard, landboard and ice skates (ok, not in that particular order).
