BLADE 11 4.9
Only just moved into quad lines but what a beast the blade 11 is.
First time out I could not believe the power or lift of this thing.
Nearly killed myself but what a buzzzzzzzzzz.
If you thinking of starting on quads, try something a little smaller or only fly in very gentle breeze until you get used to it.
Killer machine, great fun. BUY ONE AT YOUR PERIL !!!!!!!

I've had my Blade I 4.9 for about a year. Love the kite.
It's a great low wind kite, and wow, I mean wow does is have a ton of lift. Wow! Great up-wind on a snowboard. This thing flys F - A - S - T!
Recommended, but keep in mind that it has earned the nickname "Newbie Neck breaker" for a reason.

Blade 2 4.9 was my starter kite and i still fly it now after about 5 years ish.
It is a great low wind kite and lift is something you need not worry about with it. (Its the landings) In my time with this kite i found it wise not
to go higher than the point of no return. ie Higher than you dare jump without fear of eating your knee's.
Still love it loads though,
Specially when your the only one able to keep it in the air in low winds when your pals just sit looking at bin bags on the floor.
Have fun

Where is the review on the B2 6.4? What are the best wind conditions for that kite if the 4.9 does well in light wind? What would be the best to start
out in? Thanks.
