I'm interested in buying a Prism Tensor training power kite in great condition. Prefer a 3m or 4m, but may also consider a 5m kite. U2U me or send
email PM with info.
Cheers.
Will take advice and stay away from 5m... thanks.
Any other quad line kites that can be flown with handles or bar? Prism's Snapshot 2.5 can be converted to quad (handles, bar, lines), but I'm
guessing cost of a kite and then a conversion kit may be just as pricey.
I know weight is important consideration... I'm 185lbs.
Watching kite boarders in Cabarete, DR for years has got me hooked. Gotta try it!
Got a 3.1m kite lined up. Thanks Craig!

Was going to recommend Dino's, but then realized it's already gone. Sorry.
If you're just starting out, consider a 3m. There are several threads that all cover the same train of thought, and virtually all of us will say the
same thing:
3m to start, with very little +/- for winds, size and weight. Starting on a 5m can turn into an unpleasant beginning, and/or a slower than necessary
progression.
Welcome to the forum and the addiction.

Agree. 3m is great to train on, plenty powerful and will last forever.
You might also take a look at the HQ Beamer, Peter Lynn Hornet and PKD Buster Soulfly. All great trainers (I personally like the Beamer and Hornet
better than the prism).

I Have a 3.1 that I'm willing to part with if you are interested

2 to 3m for the first kite, you will never be disappointed you got them. You can have your friends pick it up too at that point. Get too big and
not everyone can handle it. Welcome to the sport.

I know this is an old post - are you still in the market for a kite? I've got one for sale that might fit the bill:

I also have a 5m Tensor that I would let go if you are still looking.

BizguyEh purchased mainekite2's back in April and it was delivered to him after WBB.
He was interested in a trainer to help him on his way to getting into watersports.
