Buster 4.4 in a buggy
I am looking for a 4-5m foil to take my daughters for a ride in the buggy.
I want something tame and easy in gusty inland parks. I plan to have them on my lap so my Arcs won't work
Who has used the buster in a buggy? Is it on par with a flow or rage in terms of usability?
I have been out of the FB world for a while now, any other kites you can think of that might fit the bill?
I had a quiver of flexi blades back in the day. The 4.9 was my go to kite 85% of the time

The Buster is a great gust muncher . Very stable . Soulfly looks nice too! Very much akin to Flexi Rages ,which I used to fly and still own.

the busters of old were very tame compared to the buster soulfly. not as much power and not near the performance of the buster soulfly. but don't let
that bother you, the buster soulfly will out perform the older busters by a mile and are even better at remaining stable in the gusty winds. they are
very easy to fly with the ability to turn it on when you want to power up. good choice for using with the kids.

I'll second what BigKid said, I haven't flown the Buster Soulfly 4.4 but I flew the 1.5 in 25 + winds and I came back with a big smile. Very stable,
performs well, no butt cheeks grabbing the seat of the buggy. I would think the 4.4 would be as enjoyable and allow you not to have to put full
concentration on the kite.
