Mood: Searching for a kite

beginner kite.


Hello all,
I'm looking to get back into kiting and am bringing my 7 year old with me. We're looking for a kite that he can grow into. Also looking for something for myself as well. Open to options. When I left several years ago I sold all my kites on this forum. Let me know what you have.



i need a kite! Wish I never sold them.

Recreational? Traction? Coastal or inland wind?

Sorry forgot to add that. We live in Kansas it's flat. For now I'd like to see him in a small kite that won't rip him into the clouds. Sumthin like the profoil 1.5 I wish I never sold. I have a feeling there will be a buggy in our future though. For me anything really, I don't need anything fancy. Not into jumping or anything. I don't mind getting pulled around a little though. Are the profoils still available. I remember there was talk about them going under our something years ago.
Inland/ recreationalish!

From what I have been told by a bunch of guys in your neck of the world the buster is one of the best gust, lumpy wind kites around.

If RTF means take it out of the bag, unwind the lines from the handles, give it a little shake and the kites in the air? Then yes.

When Jeff says ready to fly.... It's a go ,right outta the bag! And dollar for dollar ,you will not find a better deal on an entry level 4-line kite that has an advanced flier use as a high wind kite. I live on the mid - atlantic coast ,and mostly fly in nor'easters and ahead of tropical systems. The kites I use and trust,are the small Buster soulflys. I fly PKD exclusively,by choice.
