my first depower question


Hi,

I have been using 4 line kites (reactors) for now, but am thinking of getting a depower kite. I'd like to use it for buggying, flyboarding en body dragging.
The question I have is what size is a decent starter size?
The kites I now fly range from 2->6m2, the depower I am looking for starts at 6 and goes up to 12m2 (Pansh Genesis).
What is a good size to start with that can be used under most circumstances?
Any advice?

thanx,

Erik

The Pansh kites don't come with a bar. You will need to get a bar and set it up to work on that kite. Are you sure the $ saving is worth the agro? I know I had to build and tune a bar for my Pansh Aurora and the time it took away from my fly time wasn't worth it. Pansh was no help after I had purchased the kite and asked them questions.

( oops, I see they now offer a bar at extra cost . You will still have to tune it judging by Pansh's track record . )

Learning on water with closed cell foils can be difficult.

Have you considered a used LEI?

Thanx for the response.

I was planning on using it primarily for land stuff (buggy/flyboarding). The bodydragging is only for fun if the weather/water allows it.
Kitesurfing is definitely not planned with this one. :)

Good point about the bar, but like you noticed, they luckily now added it in the package.
Are most LEI's not about 2 to 4 times as pricy as these new puppies from Pansh?
One of my main problem is that I have not yet found any reviews, neither good nor bad about them.

Should I go for a LEI, I once again must ask the question; what is a decent size to start with? :)
