Kite jumping for a boy

jeffarei - 27-11-2007 at 07:54 PM

Through youtube videos and constant begging, my nephew has convinced me to let him try kite jumping. So i'm looking for a good power kite with enough lift for a 110 lb. boy to make decent jumps. What size? how big? Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thank you!

I'm thinking 4-5m kite off the top of my head,

How old is he, any idea what the average wind speed is?

Im thinking steady winds are a BIG help... Am I correct??? No body likes gusts...
