Recently purchased my first kite off the site a Beamer tsr 3.6 from kskites. After a week of waiting for wind finally got some 15-25 mph wind today lots of gusts but getting use to flying and controlling the kite. What a great workout to!! Looking forward to hitting the beach soon to get some more constant wind. And of course I had to try catching a little air and I did. I didn't think the 3.6 would get my off the ground being 200+ but it did. Thanks again loving the sport already can't wait to strap the snowboard on and give that a try

Sound like we have another happy kiter here .... lol .... keep going as much as you can .... try get as much kite skills as you can before adding snowboard ... It will make so much easier .... And please take you time before you start jumping ....

Got some good pulls today pulled me a good 10-25 feet at a time so much fun starting to look for a bigger kite for the low wind days now I'm in love.

Once you're ready to move to depower kites, you're in for a whole new experience.

There's nothing like skimming over the water powered by your kite.
