2001 PL sArc - Opinions?

Hey everyone- so I have a line on this kite from a local kitesurfing guy looking to move out some of his older kites. It's a 6.3m.

I'm about 150lbs, my wife is about 100. I was thinking this might be a good med-high wind kite for in the buggy or messing around in the water- plus a chance to get my feet wet with the PL arcs.

If anyone has any experience with these kites or would care to share an opinion I'd very much appreciate it.

I have one of these, I learn to kite with it. A lot of power, not so much depower, fast, it's possible to fly it backward, so it's easy if it fall on the leading edge. It will probably drink a lot of water if you drop it, there a lot of intake so the pressure don't stay for long after a crash. It's a fun kite to fly if it's not too costly.
