Hi Jason,

Yeah your beamer 5 should pull you on your board, as with all kites it depends on the wind speed mainly... Some kites pull better than other, for example my Flexifoil Bullet 4.5m will pull alot more than your 5m simply because its designed for that. Becareful when you are out with your 5m in a strong wind, 5m is alot of power and can do some serious damage. Get well Padded up champ....

My Beamer 3.6 pulls me in a reasonable wind, although I'm still only just getting the hang of it so not going at any speed at the moment!

I weigh in at 15st and use a 3.6 beamer.
Gets me going in a good stiff breeze.
Think a 5m might be a bit much to start with unless your only going out in light winds.
