If you like the little devel - This one is sweet and smooth.
Tight turnning, consistent power and looks top end.

Just out of the bag I noticed significant changes from the little devil. The handles are just a bit thinner.
Neoprene sleve covering the lead line where you would place the pointer and middle fingers.
It comes with a thick rope connecting the handles (Removable) so you can hook in to a harness right away and comes with kite killers.
There seemes to be an extra bridle line so the kite is very responsive and keeps its shape superbly even after I launch myself from the hot zone.

Sounds good, Todd. I'm looking at getting this kite in the 2 and 5 meter sizes. I'm hoping they work well for buggying.

Are these good beginners kites?

You can get away with them as starter kites, they're not super lifty, they're nice and smooth, and not likely to suprise you. They will have more power and lift per sqrm than some of the entry level foils though, so be careful with the wind you take them out in.

The 3m Sam is a fantastic kite, you can buy a beamer or a radsail as a beginner but fly them have fun but then fly a sam, wow what a difference, smoother and faster and in my eyes the attention to detail on the ozone is superb and the quality is as all ozone kites second to none!

I would not call them a beginners kite. They are fairly stable in clean winds but in gusty conditions they can kick your butt. I am currently trying out a 7M Sami :karate:and definitely impressed with construction very well made and looks great just standing waiting to fly.
It doesn't turn as well as other kites I have but seems good upwind and down and pulls nicely.

How do you compare the 7 Sami to the 7 Bullet ? I haven't gotten my hands on Geralds yet.

Yesterday we both had 10's out. It was only about 5 - 7kts and his Access was fying although underpowered. The Phsyco would fly but I couldn't get it to steer well. Switched to the Bullet and had a good day of it. I LOVE running on Coyotes in low wind !!!
