Sticky,

Go through the MANY past intro's that read EXACTLY like yours !

There is NO SUCH THING !!!!!

Sorry but it's true. Get a 3m Beamer and learn to fly. Once you have it all figured out THEN you want a kite to jump with.

Please do some studies and then you can give better info about yourself and your needs. Location . winds. your size etc. .

do your research, bro.

this is an extreme sport that has put a lot of folks in the hospital.

it needs to be approached with respect.

this thread is from someone who has done their research and has respect for the sport:

and this thread is from someone who the forum had doubts about, but is now hopefully in good shape:
