Wanted: 4-5m Kite good for landboarding
Hi all,
I'm new to this forum and would like to get into landboard powerkiting for realsies this time (Tried and gave up once before)
I'm looking for a 4-5m powerkite from people that may be good for landboarding itself, but won't harm my wallet (was thinking 100-150 GBP)
Let me know if you have anything or know someone who does via U2U!
Cheers
Luke

I'm also trying to learn to landboard. I got a 3m Twister as my first kite and it was perfect for getting me started. Plenty of power if you want it
but not so big that it felt like it was going to pull me off (oooerrr missus).
I'm no expert (far from it!) but in my limited experience I'd say 5m fixed bridle would be too big if it's your first proper power kite. Unless
you're a really heavy guy.
Plan on buying more though. Loads more once you get hooked!!!
Rev 1.5 SLE
PL Pepper 1.5m, Twister III 3m
Flysurfer Peak I 6m, Peak II 12m
Ozone Access V6 6m, 4m incoming!
Arcs Venom 13m, Synergy 15m
LEIs Slingshot Rally 7m, 9, 12m
Kheo Flyer Landboard
PTW SuperBug II
Nobile NHP Carbon Split
