The Next Step...
I'm back! :singing:
So my Prism Stylus P2 [PIC] is getting a little old and I'm looking to get something bigger, but I feel dwarfed next to the trillions of options out
there for second kites.
So which do I pick? I've not done any kiteboarding but I would consider it an option... I'm looking mostly for general on-foot flying, and if it makes
any difference, the wind in my area tends to be gusty. I'm leaning towards a 4-6m.
TIA for all replies!
:wee:

it's still two lines, I wasn't aware that the P2 could be converted to 4 lines... I thought that was only the P3/P4 :puzzled:

A nice transition kite for you would be a HQ Beamer, PL Hornet, or PL Viper. Maybe an Ozone Flow.

ohh you got me on that one. I know for sure the p3 and p4 can convert so i assumed all stylus could convert.
I read your post, but in my mind i saw p3 ... i would not recommend anything over 4m for your next step. I had a p3 and converted it to quad line. I
would compare its power to a 1.5m or 2m hornet / beamer. Since you have the p2 thats even smaller yet. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the
stylus they are good kites, but size for size comparison to the quad line traction kites the stylus produces much less power per size. I only tell you
this so you don't shoot too big for your next kite.

Thanks for your advice! I'm still browsing at this point but I'm looking at the Hornet 4m
