HELLO NEW with crossfire 4.0 (expert help needed wind speed)
today i recived my new and first ever kite.
i bought a crossfire 4.0.
just a little question the wind at the moment in my area is around 5-6mph (south wales uk).
will this be enough wind to get my kite in the air?
can't wait to start flying :singing::singing::singing::singing::singing::singing::singing:
:P:P

I flew my kite today and i love it. got a bit of a problem when in the zenth the front of the kite folds down but i think it was because of light
winds.
I cannot belive how much power and lift the kite produces
i love it such a rush and scary

Now just bring it out in more wind (little by little) and you'll be on your way to kite bliss. Have fun - fly on Luke,
Joe

I've been debating between the 3.2 and the 4.0.
I don't have a kite yet, but I've flown a 3.2.
How much do you weigh?
I'm 195 pounds, which I guess is about 15 stone.
I think.

11 1/2 stone (160) and the kite can lift me off the ground quite easy in the right wind.
i would def go for the 4.0m:D

Yeah, pretty much any kite will behave poorly at the edges of the wind window in light winds, It should smooth out for you when you get it in a lil
more wind.
