Can someone tell me about these kites as there is no info or reviews i can find and noone seems to have them. i want to know about power(eg. can i get
air on a board and do gnarly tricks)and controllabilty. and with 7m kites when do they get a bit too powerful? my primary use would be freestyle with
a landboard (board offs etc).
Someone please reply!

Firebees are more of a cheap buggy race kite. They require much skill to fly correctly, and do not make much lift. This is not the kite you want for
landboarding tricks. You need something de-powerable, or something designed to create lift. It all comes down to how deep your pockets are. What
are you flying now?

cheers for andwering scoopy. im flying a 3m radsail which is frankly boring below 15kts. The problem is that my budget is £150 and evan that took me
a few months to save. my friends 4m bee gives a nice amount of lift, and i considered the firebee 7 because it was the biggest i could find for the
cheapest. in my experience bees give a big amount of power so a 7m is a lot of bang for your buck i thought! i also considered a 5.5 peter lynn
pepper, do you know about these?
can you suggest anything else for that budget which is at least 5m?
