Hello guys,

Can someone please help me decide.:piggy:

I'm looking for a kite with lift and am considering:
4.0m Crossfire
4.0m or 4.9m Blade
Radsail 5.0m

I am 11 stone, did have a 3.5m Bullet.

Any comments or other suggestions would be great

Hello
I have been kiting for 2 weeks and have a crossfire 4.0m and i am around 11 1/2 stone, this kite has a lot of power and good lift.
It can pick me up in the air and i can do scrubs for more than 15 meters and longer if you keep the kite moving in winds around 10 to 15mph.
I have done some good floaty jumps at 4ft plus i know its not much but i am still learning so im sure i can do better. But i think a bit of a bigger kite is safer so it wont drop you so hard.

I think that the blade has a little more lift than the crossfire but its around £100 more. if your on a buget i would go with the crossfire excellent kite for the money.

Cheers for that....
My only quarm about the crossfire was that ive heard the build quality isn't that good?? True? Or is just not as good as the Flexifoil build?

I think your right in saying that the build quality is not as good as the flexifoil but its still sound and very well made.
I have had no problems at all. I don't know if you have had a look at these reviews but check them out all seems good.

Nice reviews.....i think i'm sold!

I'm also looking for a high wind kite, cheaper if poss. Looking at
radsail 3m,
rage 2.5m
pepper 3.5m
fury 2 or 3m

thoughts?

Where i fly there is a guy there who has a beamer 3.6 and a board going up and down the beach. It does fly good in strong or mid wind and it seems to be a good kite, and he does fly it around 5 times a week. The beamer is very popular and is cheap.

I have heard good things about the rage 2.5m fast and quick at turning and good power plus its stable when flying. I can only find one review on the rage but it does sound good. Try searching this forum for high wind kite and see what other info you can get.
i got a question if its ok? Where in the uk are u?

nice one
Happy kiting:D
