You'll be fine - just start off in low winds (below 15mph).

Haven't heard much of Exit Kites, but they sell them at Argos:

2.4m Argos Kite



Foil Kites: Flysurfer 12m Sonic 4, 10m Soul V2, Peak 5s and 5.5m Hybrid
LEIs: 9m Naish Pivot, 12m Naish Phoenix
Land: 16" Dirtsurfer GP
H20: 134 Shinn Monk Chromatic, Slingshot 103cm Hope Craft w/ Axis Spitfire 840

I agree with DaVinch; in addition to his statement I'd like to add. Don't forget, if it gets to much for you to handle. Let go of one of the handles.
It's better to spend an hour or two taking out a tangle than a week or more nursing an injury.

You haven't paid for it yet have you?

Was it the list $ at the Argos website?

If you haven't yet, and the you were going to pay that price, STOP!!!

Too much $$$ for that quality of kite. There are several kites out there that you would be much happier with, and would cost you less money
Check out a Radsail 2.4m on Ebay. Better quality - Half the price!!

Even the 3m radsails are still lower in price!!

Or look at a Beamer, or a Firebee, or a Buster, etc... All better kites, less money.


If you've already paid for it, oh well, I hope it was a good deal.

Anyways, you'll still have a blast. Remember: "Power kiting is just like sex and pizza... When it's good, its GREAT - But when it's bad... hell it's still pretty good" :lol:



\"There are no stupid questions... There are however, a lot of inquizitive idiots.\"

Quad-Trac Profoil 3m
Eolo Radsail Pro 2.7m, 3m, 6m (x2)
Ozone Razor 5.5m 4.5m and my new 8.5m (The thing scares the crap out of me...but in a good way!)
Advance Io 7.5m
Jojo Rage 12m
Jojo RS 6m (T. Raw\'s old mystery Jojo - still crazy powerful)

Earthboard Rage mountainboard w/8\" tires
MBS Comp 32 board
Flexifoil sport buggies (x3) Highly modified
Peter Lynn Comp w/Bigfoots
Rockville offroad skates w/8\" tires
Homebuilt sandboard

Lots of Ritalin
