Kites for 7-13mph


hey guys, although alot of folks have many kites, i would think you could cover the whole wind range with 3 kites. High, medium, and low wind.

i'm still looking for a low wind kite to use for KGB. i am an experienced power kiter and i weigh 160lbs. i've been flying in So cal near the coast on a grassy field. this fall winter i will hit the beaches. I currently use a 7m montana depower which starts to roll at 13mph and a blast at 15 +mph on grass. i need a kite to take care of the lower winds.

$600 is my budget. i was looking at fixed bridles. the depowers or too $$$. the sami 2, 6.0 m or 7.0m and the PKD buster 2 looks good However i can't find a large size buster 2 in stock.

Any suggestions or someone looking to sell? So many kites to choose and i can't find anywhere to demo. I'll have to go with what the forum suggests.

fly high

Montana 7m
Montana II 9.5

i know its a bit cheaper in the price range mate but a hq crossfire is cool there lots of sizes so great to pick from... with lift and power might be a good kite... i know the brand aint the best but just an idea... ad

Buster I, 9m Going for $515 USD complete, new kite. There's 2 new ones left in North America.

It'll fly in 4-5mph, pull my 245lb rear around in a bug by 7-8mph with some degree of fun, really wakes up around 9-10mph. When the wind's up, set it for max lift and your rocking. Top end for me is around 20mph, but that's somewhat on the hairy side of things.
