next best step?? need help
alright, so i'm relatively new to power kiting, i saw some videos on youtube and just had to get myself a power kite and start learning to kite jump.
In descriptions i saw many people using about 3-5 meter kites in really strong winds and getting good jumps out of it, so being as dumb as i am, i
weigh in at a little below 100kg so i figured i need a bigger kite. So i purchased a new 9m Pansh Ace. I learned quickly in a lighter wind how to
pilot the kite decently, but as soon as i got out into stronger winds i just got drug really far. I already have knee pads and such for safety and
i'm also going to purchase kite killers with my next kite to prevent from further dragging. So i'd like some suggestions on a kite that could
generate the power to get me in the air in a moderate wind, and dont worry about piloting skill, i learn fast and i'm smart about the ways i learn
(especially after my previous experience) Thanks

This is just another example why Pansh is bad for the sport. They sell any kite to anybody. You are lucky bro that kite did not seriously hurt you. It
sounds like you have your head on straight so that is good. all Pansh is interested in is peoples money and they don't care if people get hurt or not.
Now my unsafe manufacturer rant is over get your self into a 5m ish kite. The Peter Lynn twister is a good option or of course the flexifoil blades if
you can find one.
