6.6m Blade III?

How much would I expect to have to pay for one of these? I am still in need of a light wind kite for the Texas high pressure systems we get around here; my 7.7 Twister has been gone for a long time. I think an 8.5m Blade would be too much, given that I am only 122 lbs. or so. 6.6m sounds about right. Those of you who own this kite, do you like it? Is it difficult to get decent air with it on an ATB? Thank you!

I sold my 8.5 BIII two years ago for $350 k/o. If the 6.6 was in good condition, I'd expect to pay somewhere around that for a complete package.

For what it's worth, I don't have the III but have the 6.5 IV. It's just as powerful as my Twister II 7.7 (IMHO) and I have no problems getting air with it on the landboard. Redirect and edge and you're airborne :wee:

Oh and I'm 215lbs....so you should be good with the 6.6 (in the light stuff).
