I'm 65kg and I want a good jumping kite... What would be best?

These kites can be dangerous, and people get hurt biting off more than they can chew.

What sort of kite skills do you have?

If it is your first kite that you're looking for, it is generally recommended that you dont get a lifty kite, or a very big one. It is really important to learn the kites and how they work before you start doing anything like jumping with them.

Definetly expert with a stunt kite and I've flown lots of friends 4-5 meters before and was comfortable with them, so beginner-intermediate.
I've been looking at an Ozone Flow 4.0m

edit: I can't afford one. £250 pound limit. The 1-1 exchange helps

Consider also then the Peter Lynn Twister or the HQ Crossfire for lifty kites. You are not heavy but may still want something closer to 5m for jumping. Less and you won't have a floaty let down.

Wow, the twister looks good, but 4.1 or 5.6?

Sounds like you have the skills for a 5.6 if you start in lighter winds. Learn to re-direct....

Congrats on the new kite. I don't understand what this means though. Hasn't the £ just taken a beating down to 1-1 with the euro and less than 1.5-1 with the dollar?

How does that help you at all or did I miss the sarcasm?

HQ: crossfire I and II

Peter Lynn: twister yes reactor ?

Pansh: ace.

and of course Flexi Blade.

did some research on the flow, it sure is a good looking kite, but medium / low AR, low cell count, only A & B rows....

where are you? what country has 1 to 1 exchange with the quid? the euro?

You'll want to have a good look at the windspeeds where you are, also your average wind quality i.e. do you have access to clean onshore winds or are you stuck inland in some hilly area?

And finally budget some protective gear in there....

The more info you give, the better the advice you will receive...

edit: man you guys are fast! while researching the flow the twister was decided on!!!!!

I live in Ireland, 1euro = 1pound but the prices are the same. The same kite in Ireland costs euro230 more...

Sorry for the dp...
I have a great beach which has a basically constant 4 force on one side and 3 on the other...

you'll rock with the twister then!
