plz help


i am 14 years old, i want to get a kite and a land board, but i have no clue what size to get, i understand after lookin around online about how it is easier to go in small wind conditions and what size to get, but i want some thing that i can jump really high with and a good cruising speed, They sell some ozones down the street from where i live, but i dont know what size i should get, i am 130 lbs., they also sell "trainer" kites, but there in my price range, in all for a kite and board ill have 400 maybe 500. just tell me the set up u would get in the same situation.

I think probably for your first kite you should get a size that you will get the most use out of in most wind conditions and still will not over-power you like crazy while you are still learning. I seem to grab my kites in the range of 2.5 meters to 5 meters most often and I am roughly the same weight as you. I think 5 meters is fine if you use kite killers. That size will give you nicer, floatier landings when jumping. Ozone is a good choice for kite ATB as well.

Hope this helps and don't forget the safety gear!

I like my Sami alot, but it's really the only Ozone I have flown. You might be able to pick up an Ozone Little Devil (the model the Samurai replaced) for a good price now as well.
