Hi and thank you for adding me to this forum. Just need some advice on what kite would be best to buy for landboarding. I haven't done it for a few years and my last kite was a Flexifoil Blade 2. Ideally I'm looking for a power kite that's an all rounder but I'm more at the intermediate level. I'm in Australia and was looking at the Peter Lynn Hornet. Possibly the 4.0. Any advice would be helpful. Cheers Julian

Welcome aboard Julian! Nice to have you on board. Hard to go wrong with a Hornet. Great basic workhorse in the kiting stable. Many folks prefer and recommend this kite in its 3.0m size, not the 4.0m size. Still plenty of power, but considerably more maneuverable. In many of the older threads here on PKF there are many thoughts expressed on the merits of the various sizes. I'd suggest if the time allows to go through some of these older threads and soak it all up. Ed above got you started in the perfect place.

I sent you a U2U message a minute ago alerting you to some more local stuff as well being as you noted you are in Australia. Many (but certainly not all by any means) of the users here are from the US. Look for the small U2U hyperlink in the upper right hand corner of your screen.
