kites

Hi I was wondering what everyone thought of the Balistics 6.2 Portal and the Go Fly A Kite 5.0 and if they will give me a good clean jump and landing. I live in a place where the wind is a usual 15 MPH and I only weigh 120 pounds but my 3.6 kite isnt giving me the air i want and that i think could be acheived. thanks

Im not positive, as I dont deal with newtech or gofly, but I would only recommend jumping with the following 4 kites on handles-

Macpara Bego
Flexifoil Blade
Ozone Riot
HQ Crossfire

These are designed to produce lift. Any kite will get you up, but you want a nice soft landing right??

yep, i will second all the kites scoopy said, the crossfire is an amazing kite for the price. the blade is a all out agressive lift machine. the bego is great in low winds and up to what ever you are brave enough to fly in. and i dont know alot about the riot

riot flies like a higher performance crossfire. Very very smooth power delivery.

For a new Kite the crossfire is pretty sweet. Great kite for the money and loads of smooth power and lift. You wont be dissapointed.
