Have had a few different (see sig) kites , but ill follow that last comment , blades all the way!!! Im 6'2 and about 15 1/2 stone and i use a blade 3
6.6 i got from ebay for £185, Its a beast , will never get bored with it, so much power but i find it quite forgiving , and it moves surprisingly
fast for a larger end kite, Have spoken to loads of people and when it comes to ram air non depowerable nothing seems to beat blades! 4.9 is just as
good if you have the wind , hope this helps
