Kites for all things

I want to buy a kite that would be suitable for land kiting, bugging and kite surfing.
Is it ok to use water kite for land kiting and bugging? I have 4sqm land kite, but now want a bigger kite that could I use for surfing also.
What type of kites is the best for my needs?

Check out Peter Lynn arcs, Flysurfer kites, and the soon to be released HQ Neo. I think these are the kites you are wondering about.
Inflatable kites are pretty popular on land but usually the folks know how the fly them. The styles above will stand up to punishment on land better.
Bularoos and Ocean Rodeo are tough inflatables that stand up a bit better on land.
If at all possible take a lesson! It will be the best money you can spend !!!

Kites: 2.5m Profoil , Quadrifoil XL kitesurfer, NPW 5 Danger.
Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.
Flysurfer : 19m Speed 2 SA, 7m Pulse
Peter Lynn :18m Phantom, 15m Synergy, 10m Synergy, 1200 Farc, 460 Sarc, 130 Tarc, 5m Peel, 4.2m , 6.4, 8.5 C-Quads, 3.5 LS2 single skin.

Rides: Flexi / P.L. Frankin'Buggy , Shaped + straight skiis, sand skis, Coyote blades. Core 95 ATB. RKB R2 ATB .

I second the Peter Lynn's. IMO, the best multi use kites on the market today (surf,snow,land).

Happy Winds!

i don't have a buggy anymore, but when i did, i would fly my PL venom 1, 19 meter on the water in 15/17 mph south east wind until i needed a break, then jump on the buggy until needing a break. i did that all afternoon, back and forth. i've never tried snow--none in florida

just to show how versatile the pl kites are.
