Now this is my first kite, but for a trainer this kite has some pull. I haven't got a board yet, but I was out today with ~15 mph winds and when I was in max wind it gave me a go.
This kite's specs are:
Size 350
Flat Area (mē/sqm) 3.5
Flat Span (cm/ft) 350
Height (cm/ft) 120
Flat AR 3.6
Cells 15
Wind (Bft.) 2-5; 8-38 km/h; 5-24 mph; 4-21 Knoten
Dyneema Line Set (incl.) 220 kp; 3 x 25 m
Control Options Control Bar 50 cm

Overall this kite seems to be a nice trainer, perfect for those that have flown stunt kites or other multi-line kites. The steering is fairly simple and the power is strong for it's size. Overall I enjoy this kite very much and felt comfortable with it after ~4 hours of play. Only previous kites flown were prism stunt kites.

I just got mine today and found the perfect wind for a maiden flight. After a couple of missteps, she was up and flying. Too much fun!

Good on you for sharing the info being so new to the forum!

Make sure at some point n that kite's life you give it a go on handless. You'll likely be amazed at the control you have over it.
