Your not looking at kites on eBay are you? If you are looking for a good trainer kite, ask. Be more than glad to help out.

Not saying buying from eBay is bad, just watch who you are buying from.

Mostly sold in the UK & Ireland. Cirrus Power Kites has been in business since 2007. Prior to 2007, they were selling under their parent company's name, Brookite. Brookite has been selling kites of one kind or another for over 100 years.

Good? = Yes
Great? = Probably not.

Type Cirrus site:racekites.com into the Google search box and you will pull up a fair number of reviews.

With regards to the 2.4M, read ---> this

Power Series is the basic model. Smaller sizes and leans towards the recreational beach flyer. Some complaints regarding bridles and QC on line lengths.
Pro Series is a bit nicer with mesh covered air inlets that keep debris out of the kite and helps retain the kites shape in crosswinds. Generally garners better reviews.

Technology is a bit dated, but quality is pretty good (with price in mind). They stand behind their product with a 1-month repair voucher.

Basically if your novice skills trashes your kite, they will repair it. I am sure there is fine print that doesn't cover yeti attacks or acts of stupidity (i.e. flying near an archery range), but a nice bit of reassurance.

ATB,
Sam

You tend to get what you pay for in this sport.
