NJLandboard, try for Syns if you can find them. Scorpions are way more of a pain to launch.

Wind is like a drug: many people are addicted to it, too much of it and you could end up dead or in the hospital, too little of it and you\'ll go crazy, and just the right amount makes for a good time.

Yeah, there are a number of people who use an electric leaf blower to speed up the inflation time in light winds.

Don't be scared away from scorpions. There is a trick to learn with launching them but once you learn it, scorpions are really fun. I'd go with a 16m. In light clean wind that kite just sits waiting for input. In stronger wind it'll take you too the moon. Look at my avatar, that was using my old 16m scorp. They are cheaper than the syns but still great kites. Once you learn how to launch that is. I used to have a full quiver of them. Let me know if you have any questions about them:)

Dude, he only weighs maybe 120 lbs, he doesn't need a 16m Scorpion.

12v muffin fan from and rechargeable RC car battery from Radio Shack. In three minutes you can bounce a quarter off the kite...
