Hey,

I have had a 3.5 Blurr for over a year now and i am thinking of buying a new kite because the Blurr is ment for Buggies as far as i know.

Im not amazing but i can hold a kite and move it quite well in the air. But i want a kite with more lift up than pull but i dont know if i should wait and stay learning on the Blurr for a bit or get a bigger and better kite.

Thanks.

flexi blade or PL twister will give ya more lift

Il have a look at them

Blurr is a great high perfomance kite, but yeah, not meant for lift. Meant for speed and power down low in the window. Drew has it right; Blade, Twister II for lift and don't rule out HQ Crossfire II. If you ever want to fly on a Bar, Blade is better choice.

Would the twister be a hard kite to fly?

Thanks acampbell im looking at the twister ATM and i like it just wondering if its to hard for me.

Twister not hard to fly at all, just like handles better than a bar. A little smoother and less grunty than a Blade.

i gots a twister 2 and i love it... it is my go to kite

what are you planning on doing? If just flying and jumping I'd stick with fixed bridles but if you think you are going to add a board at somepoint, I'd start thinking depower before you buy too many kites that equal the purchase price of 1 depower.

Nice thanks for the help :D

Like proberly just land and jumps but maybe in like 1-2 years might get borad but il liking the look of the twister

+1 fot the Twister II Great kite! Smooth, easy to control, lots of lift!

Its 50 50 But my close freind said for what i am a blade would be better but i am still open for kites.

Thanks for everyones help :bigok:

blades are prolly better kites... but lots more money... they can also have pretty aggressive lift to 'em...

a blade 6.5 RTF is approx $900
a pl twister II 7.7 RTF approx $440
a HQ crossfire 6.5 RTF bout $530 (little heavier kite IIRC)

i love my twister dude... for the money its a hard kite to beat... you may even be able to snag some 09 deals on 'em right now too... if air is what ya want a twister can do it... in the right winds i can get 5-8 foot jumps (foot to ground) all day long... i atb board with it too and have a great time on it... i wouldnt overlook one

either way, all good kites

Yeah the blades did seem alot of money but i dont want to keep buying kites because of the money but i want to get a good kite thats has a good lift but is not going to be too aggressive because im kinda not used to it.

Once ive got either the blade or twister i want to get a board so i need a kite that will be good to learn on, but my mate says that the twister is not a very good kite and i should get a blade so im still not sure which will will be better for me.

meh, personal opinion i guess... i fly my twister almost everyday and have never had a bad day with it... either kite is good... but if im droppin 9 bones on a kite... its gonna be a depower

Yeah :/ im thinking the twister becasue of money and that thanks again

Agreed 100%!!!!

The twister is my main kite. I have used it for jumping (beginning to aggressive), boarding, even what I call zen flying (chillin in low winds). I'm about to drop some dough on a buggy and I'm going to use it as my learning engine. You can not go wrong with a twister II. For the money there is no better kite with all around versitility (imho of course)

Besides, if you are going to drop big bucks, go depower!

hey mate might be worth leaving your kite buying until after NABX, as there will be a heap of kites up for sale here, after people there buy new ones.
