are you looking for a fixed bridle kite with handles, a fixed bridle kite on bar, a depower kite, or a trainer kite?
Tide? What's a tide? Man, it's 1000 miles to any ocean.

It'd be hard to find a depower kite under $200. Guys almost fought for such a custom mod (by powerzone for another west coast guy if I'm not mistaken)
few months back. A quad is more realistic and unless you're training for depower as for your main ride, smaller depowers could be tricky,

I just sent him my 3m Blaze , 5m Ace, with one set of handles, lines and killers within budget. I will really miss the Ace and it should serve him
well being a big guy. The Blaze is in near new shape and should be what he needs to prepare for the Ace. He is aware of Pansh's place in the pecking
order. + the Aces lifty / collapse at edge nature.
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 .

So my advice (from a guy who jumped a lot with the 3m ace and totally jacked himself up jumping a 4m kite on a 10 gusting 30 day) is this:
1) Respect the gust. If you think, "hrm... I wonder if I should pack up..." The answer is yes
2) Learn to redirect by instinct. Lofting happens fast.
Hope that helps. She's a fun kite. |
