Hi,
I'm 16 and I've always loved kiting and jumping etc, just moved home and managed to lose all my equipment in the move :/ (Harness, bar, 4.9 Flexifoil Blade II)
So thought it was time to get a new kite and kit etc, my budget is £700-800 if anyone would be kind enough to recommend what equipment I should get for a complete new kit out, with the best kite and size for immense hang time (I love being able to just float and feel totally at ease )
I would be extremely greatful, thanks in advance

The HQ Toxic is a good jumping kite because it offers a high aspect ratio for big airtime while still offering some stability and safety.

Sorry about you losing your gear. Did you guess how that may have happened?

For maximum hang time, I would recommend looking into the used kite section and picking up a depowerable. Something like the Peter Lynn twinskins or Montana or Frenzy. Depowerable has much better hangtime and float than any fixed bridled foil I have ever used. If you are starting from scratch, that would be my choice.

Awesome cheers, think I'll take a look in the used section, and for loss of kit I really have no idea :/ I think it was just one of those things which got lost, as it was all wrapped up tightly it wasn't very big :/

Are you just jumping static or on a land board?

static I would get another Blade, around 6m. On a landboard I would go for an Ozone C4 10-12m

To get really serious hangtime you would go for a 17m Naish Draft or a 19m/21m Flysurfer Speed 3 to give 2 examples - but jumps that size are best done on the water!

Yeah, I fly static, however love to buggy and land board as well. A 6m Blade does sound pretty good, the flysurfer sadly breaks the budget lol :L

Are there any bars & Harnesses you would recommend as well for jumping and hang time specifically?

If you are going with fixed bridle then you will be best off with handles.
You can still hook in with handles and a strop line. Bars work but you don't get the fine control that handles offer. I spent a lot of time and a bit of money convincing myself that a bar isn't the best way to go . That said, I have never tried a Turbo Bar and they work very different than the crossover bars I was building.

+1 for handles! The bar is good for landboarding because you can fly one handed a lot easier but its worth going for a depowerable foil or inflatable if landboarding becomes your main interest.

for fixed bridles nothing really comes close to the Blade for jumping so at least its an easy choice!

Harness is a tricky one because what fits one person really comfortably might not be great for the next person. Dakine Renegade is a great harness but I would try one for fit (and some other harnesses) before you buy. Do you have a kiteshop you can go to?
