Hello all.
I'm 19 and weigh 9st 7 lbs (130 lbs).
I live inland so the average summer wind is 5-8 mph, and winter winds 10-20 and occasionally more.
I've looked around, originally thought of getting a Super 10, but I think that I might get bored of it quickly. Having read what a lot of people
have to say about the Rhombus Firebee, I think I'll get one of these, since my budget is tight.
Thing is, will the 3m or the 4m kite be the most suitable?
I'm not looking to buy another in the near future.
I'd like the kite to pull me about in 8mph winds and lift me up now and again in stronger winds.
So: Firebee 3.0 or 4.0?
Thanks!
Anthony

I dont have any experience with the Firebee, other than it takes power rings (brake line tensioners) and takes a little flying skill to get the most
out of one.
A kite I do know about though is the PKD buster. You will be hard pressed to find a better kite ready to fly for the money. I would look at the 4
meter. Very fast, good pull, but not too much lift. You can jump with one, but there are better suited kites for that.
Check them out before you decide for sure.
