beamer 1.8 good enough??


Hi im 15 but weigh only like 85 lbs and am like 4 foot 9in. I love kites my first power kiting experience was when i was like 8 weighed like 45 lbs and jumped off a hill with a parafoil 7.5 and thought i was flying!!!lol. Now i want to recreate that fond childhood memory and am wondering if a Beamer 1.8 would be good enough. I know every one says quad line is the way to go but what about a symphony 2.7 or 3.0 would do. Im not really interested much in buggying or anything like that just jumping or mabey scudding. Thanks!!

1.8 Too Small


1.8 is fun to fly, but if you want to fly, get at least the Beamer 3.6 or 5.0. We have similar winds in Ontario, I use my 3.6 in super high winds, and my 5 - 12 Meter kites for everything else...

Have fun, be sure to get out this winter on skis, a board or ice skates...:singing:
