Wanted: good first kite, 3-4m (Beamer preferred)
looking for something semi cheap for my first kite. I've never flown anything outside of $2.00 wal mart kites but I want to try this sport out.
Looking to start with a good kite at first and maybe get into boarding later. (I've heard the beamer is an excellent first kite)
Needs to come with lines and handles, etc.

Check the 'for sale' section of this forum. I've already made a few purchases of some really reasonably priced gear, good for a beginner like me, at
very fair prices and from some extremely friendly people.

Do you have a price point? I could sell you a 3m HQ Scout, which is basically a Beamer on a bar. I've flown it once on grass and once at Wildwood on
sand. The bar is a little dirty from Wildwood, but the kite is in excellent shape. The kite would come with the bag, bar, lines, stake, and
instructions that originally came with it.
