another question!


hi guys & girls.

im new to the forum.

I'v been flying my flexi stacker 6 for about 2 years on & off now. I'm good at controlling the little fella and feel its about time to progress on to bigger & better things.

I'm looking for something that could pull me along the ground and get some air. What kite could do this?

i like my stacker 6 and have been looking at the 10, is this any good for my needs or are there others i should look out for?

any advice would be great.

I only flew a stacker 8 fr a couple minutes once. But if you are serious about getting into traction kiting, ie buggying, boarding, etc, then I would say go for a 4 line foil. You will be suprised at how much more control you have!

After flying the stacker for that long you should have pretty good kite control. If you're looking to eventually get into traction, look at entry level 4 line kites, Beamer, BusterII, and Radsail are all good starts, I'd be looking at the 3-4m range depending on how windy it is and how many pies you've eaten.

as for pies.....i dont eat that many, i come in at a rather athletic 9 st

a local outdoor shop is selling kites made by peter lynn, they fall into my price range but im unsure of the quality?

Peter Lynn is one of the grandfathers of Kite Buggying and is a legend in his kite making designs and skills. If it is a Peter Lynn kite, then it is a good one.
