Can you hang out there and pick the locals brains about what is working for them ? Very often someone will have the right gear for sale because they
are updating so you can avoid shipping +" try before you buy "!
Your best choice is to get at least 1 lesson in before buying. The instructor may be the best person to help you with the choice.
Kites of the same size can have very different power delivery depending on their shape + control systems.
You may want to go second hand for your 1st kite. You will crash a lot and so odds of wrecking it are up there.
Some people swear by the value of " auto zenith " that arcs offer for learning ? I know I struggled with the kite while trying to get in to my board
and it slowed my progression a lot. The arcs forgiving nature definately helped me with my jumps.
The locals are your best bet but we can try to help you on here as well. Don't rush into this one and you will make a good choice. |

I don't often say things like this but I am rather disappointed in those who have participated in this tit-for-tat bickering. It is clearly stated in
our rules and previous threads that the best way of dealing with forum abuse is to report the post (report button located at top-right of each post)
and allow the site admins to address the issue in accordance to our forum rules. These self-serving arguments are a huge turnoff for those seeking
information and support. My apologies to PaulGl and others who have had their threads hijacked in such a manner.
We are an intelligent community. Let's try to address opposing opinion with constructive feedback. Let's deal with trolling by clicking the report
button.
