How go's it, I'm new to the power kiting scene and I just bought and flew my first kite it's a prism P3 3m dual line that can be upgraded to quad line and after the four day vacation I just had at DILLONS beach (in Nor Cal) last weekend I totally am upgrading I had a great time with my new kite and plan to have more fun with it in the future, but I know I am already addicted to the idea of a bigger power kite do you guys have any suggestions on: first quad handles for my P3 and secondly for a bigger foil? I stand 5'9" 250lbs.

save your money on quad lines and handles for that kite and put that money towards a different kite. I also started with a p3 (technically 2.5m) and its a stable kite, but not a power kite. I consider the p3 a stunt foil.
There is alot of us in the sacramento area. hook up with some of us and fly our kites so you can see what I'm talking about.
BTW - welcome to the forum and your new addiction.

Thanks bro it felt and flew alot like a stunt foil and yes you probably remember what it felt like when you started kiting I'm totally pumped. Thanks for your response by the way my brother in law lives in galt and I let him fly my kite and he's hooked too.
