looking round internet to buy the beamer 3 3m and it seems to be round about £119 everywhere
but on amazon theyve got the 4m version for £114 and it seems stupid to pay more for the 3m one when i can get the bigger version instead
but im abit iffy about 4m been to big ?
i weigh about 9 stone and winds are faily low round here
cant decide what to do
any help ?

i'd say buy it,but try it in real low winds at first until you get used to it---maybe 5-8 mph for starters......126 lbs, wow youre going to get
dragged all over the place once you get the hang of it!

what geo said....
you can extend your wind range by flying on soft sandy beaches with smooth wind, if you're inland and flying near your limits sooner or later a gust
will slap you... If it does so on hard ground it might hurt! Be mindful of the gusts!
once you get used to it though, it will become a pretty comfy kite to fly....

I have that kite and love it. Lottsa pull and it is deff friendly in 8-10. Once you get over that (I fly Inland) the gusts can and will get your
heart beatin. With your weight the 3M will pull ya for sure..I weight in at 165 and the 4M can pick me up a little bit (4" and 10" in wind I should
never have been up in:singing
and scud ya a good distance. :wee:
