some advice for buying


hi guys,

need some advice as i get more and more confused as to what to get reading everything!

firstly - im no stranger to kites and have flown stunts and tiny duel line power kites (crappy 1.2metre things)

I will generally be flying it when i go to the coast (holidays, visiting the parents etc) so have no idea of wind speeds.

IM only 9stone so quite light (how much of a difference will this make)

I want a kite that will also be suitable when i get a bit more advanced (i dnt want one that i will 'grow out of' in a short space of time)
mainly want to do skudding, but really wanna be pulled all over the beach and back again :)

Priice is an issue - have around £100

any ideas or recomendations?

regards

Something like a Beamer III from HQ or a Pepper from Peter Lynn in a 3 or 3.5 meter (sq.) size will be witihin your budget and will start to pull you around at about 10 mph and up.
There has been talk of the inexpensive Pansh kites ordered direct from China, but many folks toss aside their (reportedly inferior) handles and lines sets so add about 40 UK to the "cheap" price for them.
Don't worry about out-growing the kites. Yo will just use them in higher and higher winds to get the same thrill.
