I just have to do it.

Which would be better lift.

Ace 5 or Legend 5.5?

Thanks.

Ace

Definitely. But don't discount the Legends. I had a 5.5 out today in just barely enough wind to keep it in the air but once I got it working it generated enough pull to slide me around on the snow. Nice kite IMO.

pull = legend
lift = ace

So how will the Ace's lift compare to that sort of something like a Beamer or Blade?

Also where's the best place to buy one? I only found 1 store online. :borg:

The blade is the undisputed king of lift. The ace isn't far behind. I don't know from hands on yet, because I haven't got to fly the beamer I have yet, but it should campare to the legend. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Anyone know where you could buy a Pansh ? :yes:

Sure the price is attractive and the Ace will lift. HQ designed their Crossfires for lift , Beamers for pull. The Ace is liftier than the Beamer but nowhere near the Blade. Not to stir up trouble but how can a kite with a lower AR and much slower thru the window produce similar lift with a faster, higher AR sail. The answer is simple, its impossible. Of course my opinion is biased but the Blade IV 6.5 is the finest fixed bridle kite Ive flown, by a mile. Im not speaking of lift only, overall this kite is amazing. Blades, Begos, and Crossifres not only lift better but overall flight characteristics are much better.

Everyones got it down. The Legend is Pansh's Beamer, and the Ace is Pansh's Blade/Crossfire.

Ace is a more intermidate kite, and will give you a work out for sure. My friends 6m wouldn't sit still for a second today.

Get lines? Flying line? Lines you should be able to find online from any kite surfing store, but I always go to Kiteplace.com. Great service,an great prices.. HQ Lines too, great quality. If you're picking

Talk to dlish if you need a Pansh kite, he is the resident retailer around the forums. I'm sure he can hook you up.

Thanks.. That's exactly what I wanted to hear.

Now I'm going to go buy a Pansh kite.
