You'll be fine - just start off in low winds (below 15mph).

Haven't heard much of Exit Kites, but they sell them at Argos:

I agree with DaVinch; in addition to his statement I'd like to add. Don't forget, if it gets to much for you to handle. Let go of one of the handles.
It's better to spend an hour or two taking out a tangle than a week or more nursing an injury.

You haven't paid for it yet have you?

Was it the list $ at the Argos website?

If you haven't yet, and the you were going to pay that price, STOP!!!

Too much $$$ for that quality of kite. There are several kites out there that you would be much happier with, and would cost you less money
Check out a Radsail 2.4m on Ebay. Better quality - Half the price!!

Even the 3m radsails are still lower in price!!

Or look at a Beamer, or a Firebee, or a Buster, etc... All better kites, less money.


If you've already paid for it, oh well, I hope it was a good deal.

Anyways, you'll still have a blast. Remember: "Power kiting is just like sex and pizza... When it's good, its GREAT - But when it's bad... hell it's still pretty good" :lol:

i would NOT get a kite from argos too expensive for the quality.
