Welcome to the nuthouse. Take extra caution with that blade. Not to scare you away, and I could be wrong. The 4m blades have a nickname the widow
maker. It has plenty of lift for great air, but not that much sail to float you back down softly. Maybe spend a bit of time with that smaller kite
till you get your control and feeling for the wind.

That's what I was thinking that's why I got the boy the small kite for me to Learn me .I thought the blade three was a good kite

Blade purists reckon the mk3 is the best of the lot ! I reckon you've got yourself a good kite. Just be really careful, and start slow ! :D

Welcome to the addiction. I'm glad your bringing your son in to. Don't worry this addiction is legal until your Missus finds the credit card
receipts!! You may find yourself looking for more kites before you know it. Then there are all the accessories!!
Best of luck to you. And please start off slow and small. Then work your way up.

Welcome
Both are very good kites. Flexifoil is a top quality brand. The 1.7m Sting is a kite I would buy if the price was right. I have used one in 40+ mph
winds and it was really well behaved. Worked amazingly well as an engine for riding.
Like folks mention the 4m Blade is a great kite but very high performance. Respect it or it will spank you !
