What I think is that I would not buy a 'no name' kite from ebay. Buy it from a kite shop and someone who knows what they''re selling. Or a second hand kite from someone here - except that 'ebay Jonesband' fella.

Buy a name kite = PKD, Ozone, Flexifoil, HQ, Peter Lynn, Zebra, Prism. These guys make proper kites.

That thing on ebay looks like a rip off of the Flexifoil Buzz two line kite. Buy a proper 4line kite - you can reverse launch it if you crash it head first and you can land and launch it easily by yourself. And you can use it for buggying or landboarding later on.



Libre Vmax, Alloy Vermin buggy.
Ozone Access/Method/Riot/Imps/
Born-Kite Nasa Star 2's & 3. Born-Kite Long Star 3,5,7m. Peak 2 6m.

As folks have mentioned the best money is on used kites from a reputable company. Fly that thing to get a feel for the wind window, turning and looping while you save up and hunt for a REAL power kite !



Did you even read this reply ?
