Second kite

Sorry, i don't like asking complete newbie questions, but i don't want to buy the wrong kite.

I have a 1.2m sting kite and after a week of flying i've decided to upgrade. i was thinking about something around 2 - 4m. My weight's 57Kg, my area has light winds and i'm a semi noob.

The kites i've been looking at are brooza, bullet and blade.

Also, what difference has a bar and handles got? Bar looks easier.

mmm

If you have the coin, a 3m Brooza is a sweet kite, I have it and the 5.5m, looking forward to picking up a 7.5m to finish off the set. If not the Buster II's are fairly well made and fly nice for the $$$ spent.

I was looking on ebay for second hand kites. There's only one brooza - 3m and no busters. But busters are really cheap so i could buy one new if i can't find a brooza.

Some quetions about things included with the buster. What are;



  1. PKDS, AOA
  2. ground bag
  3. protection sleeves

    .. Nothing much on google

1) Adjustable bridal More lift and speed or lower wind performance and stability.
2) Not sure if they're reffering to the kitebag or the Buster II's come with a couple sandbags to weight the kite down while setting up.
3)Protectin sleeves, The Buster 1 was fairly famous for bridal tangles, the protectin sleeve covered the part that caused the tanges, The sleeves eliminate this problem, I believe the Buster II's have the same sort of thing.


Busters are hard to find, not many want to get rid of them, Brooza's are still a fairly new kite as well. Chances of finding them on E-bay are slim to none.


Best bet, find a shop blowing out Buster I's to make room for Buster II stock.
