Radsail 3.0 - enough pull for 210 pound man?


I may have made a mistake in buying the 3.0 instead of the 4.0. I want to get a good workout flyin a traction kite. Will this kite do this?

4 meter is a good beginner size, especially in a Radsail. If you have already purchased the 3.0 it will be fine, and once you get a feel for it, you can take it out in some pretty good winds. If this is your first power kite, I can almost gurantee it wont be your last. :)

Good luck and post all the questions that may come up when flying and settingup/takedown.

i have one! theyre great especially with a board in 25kts! youll find they are easy to learn on due to their easy handling, and the power generated it good with reasonable lift in 15kts plus. i'd say theyre a great kite to start with. a quick piece of advise is to tie a knot 1-2 cm from the handle on the power line attatchment on the handles. this delivers more power and you may find it hard to take off with the flying line attatched right at the end of the handle line. otherwise.. happy flying!
