I agree with Kent - when you try and save money getting something like this it ends up being frustrating and they just don't fly the same. If you want
a cheap first experience there are always used foils for sale and even getting some of the kites sold as trainer kites for surfing will be better
quality and many times those kites are sold off very cheap.shehatesmyhobbies - 26-5-2011 at 01:45 PM
I agree with all of the above! Buying the right kite the first time is well worth the wait!arkay - 26-5-2011 at 02:06 PM
+1.. save your money. that thing won't teach you much.cpamieta - 26-5-2011 at 02:39 PM
I would watch ebay, I just got a brand new skydog sdt 4.0 for $100. In shops they go for like $350. Not really sure how good this kite is, but seems
to be a decent one.rossb63 - 26-5-2011 at 02:57 PM
right cheers guys ill just keep saving :-)Bladerunner - 26-5-2011 at 03:14 PM
If money is tight the best choice in kites is used. Typically a recent model lightly used kite will sell for about 50% of new price.
Another trick is to buy 1 kite complete and the second kite only.
Going for quality is key and I see you understand that. We need about 3 kites to cover all winds. I would far prefer to have 2 or 3 used kites of all
sizes than one new kite of any size?
Good move asking the folks on here ! I think you just saved yourself 40 quid avoidin that one. That is one busy looking bridle?Bladerunner - 26-5-2011 at 03:14 PM
