Looking for something moderate

danzahxc - 18-6-2009 at 07:58 PM

I am new to this. I am just looking for a kite that I can use at the beach with my girlfriend that will lift me off the ground a little bit. Something of a "moon jump" is what I am looking for. I want to be able to use it as a normal kite, but if I jump it will pull me a little bit. Not to much to pull me way up there but just to jump and go a few feet and land and still have control of the kite. I am 150 lbs if that helps

being new-jumping is the last thing you want to do.......

I am not sure I would describe any kite that will lift you up "a little bit" as moderate. A kite that will lift you a little bit can always lift you a bit more. Learn to fly first. Once you have kite control down, then it is time to think about jumping. Learning the other way round can be painful.

sorry, i missed reading the whole thing .. and just skimmed through. need to cut back on the Redbull and get some sleep. 24hrs and counting.

my suggestion first would be a small PL Hornet, than move to a little bigger Twister kite.

Have you looked at Flexifoil Rage?
