Small kite for a hooked young flier


Hey gang, while we were at the beach a month ago, my cousin's son who is about 10 took to flying kites (like his dad and uncles) and is looking for a small 4 line kite. tridude has generously loaned him a 1.5m Profoil and the little guy loves flying it and at about 70 lbs, it still moves him around a bit. So the 1.5 or 2m size is really good for him. Anyone have a kite this size with or without lines they can part with? We need to get this boy his own kite.

Thanks for the input guys!

KS that hornet looks like it would be a great option, but that buster soulfly looks like a lot of kite for the price. New and RTF as well.

Absolutely, the PKD Buster Soulfly looks like an amazing deal! Good luck to your cousin's son whatever you decide to go with. Someday we may be calling him "flyjump2". Wish I could have started kiting at his age.

Dino at DaKitez has a "used once" PL Hornet II 2m RTF for $200 shipped on his website. Looks like someone tried it out and then immediately traded it back in for another kite. I know it's more money than the PKD Soulfly, but it looked like a great deal and just wanted to make sure you saw it.
