If you do happen to be interested in a Twister 7.7m, Dino at Dakitez has a "used once" Twister IIR 7.7m for $389 and Kent at A Wind of Change has the
previous model Twister II 7.7m for $380. Both are excellent sellers to deal with. I own a Twister II 7.7m... it is a fun and powerful kite. It can
definitely get you some of that air time you seek.
A couple of Trainers,
Some Fixed Bridle Kites (1.2m - 14m),
and some Depower Kites (3m - 20m),
GI & MBS boards,
PL XR+ buggy w/ VTT upgrade kit.

While the Twister will work for a buggy, it isn't an ideal buggy kite. It is designed for Jumping and lift. Much better for your landboard. I
utiliize a Peter Lynn Core 6.7 and a Reactor II 6.9 for lighter wind buggying. I don't board, but locals here utilize the same Core for boarding.
Its a decent all around kite that doesn't excel at either sport, but does pretty good at both.

I am also considering a depowered for buggying and certainly interested in a "used once" or very little. I have not "bought" a kite in many years.....
Which kite has the best overall wind range? I am 200lbs, will buggy in Sand and grass, and looking for a kite with the largest wind range. 5-?
Thanks. Dodd

While that 7m Pulse on sale here will not perform in 5mph wind it does have about the largest range of any of my kites.
It may not end up your low wind kite but it will serve up well at both ends. + is a very well behaved kite for learning. One kite that like both buggy
and board !
At only $300 it's a steal ! 
Kites: 2.5m Profoil , Quadrifoil XL kitesurfer, NPW 5 Danger.
Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.
Flysurfer : 19m Speed 2 SA, 7m Pulse
Peter Lynn :18m Phantom, 15m Synergy, 10m Synergy, 1200 Farc, 460 Sarc, 130 Tarc, 5m Peel, 4.2m , 6.4, 8.5 C-Quads, 3.5 LS2 single skin.
Rides: Flexi / P.L. Frankin'Buggy , Shaped + straight skiis, sand skis, Coyote blades. Core 95 ATB. RKB R2 ATB .
