hey guy's and gal's, I'm looking to buy my first power kite, i've never done it before need help in finding a good kite but sadly on a budget of £50. Was looking at a 2.4m Radsail can anyone tell me if this is a good kite, and if you know of better ones for around that price i'd really appreciate to hear from you.

hope you can help
many thanks

Hi. I currently own a 2.4 radsail, this is my first kite also. It is very easy to fly, very quick and manouverable. The only thing with it is, it does take a fair bit of wind for it to put a big grin on your face, but in the right conditions it does pull quite well.

Im not really that experienced with power kiting yet(only 1 summer and a few winter days) But I would reccomend one as a first kite.

Hope this helps

Dan.

That's a good place to start size wise. I'm not personally familiar with Radsail but don't here complaints. Learn to fly it blind while sitting / lying down. Then when you end up that way by accident it will be familiar territory. :o

The 2.4 will give you enough pull to entertain + start riding in higher winds. You will eventauly want a bigger kite but by then will have all the skills down so you can handle it properly ! The 2.4 will always be usefull for big winds and teaching friends.

ThanS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-s guys, i too am pretty impressed with radsail so just gonna go for the 2.4m, i get the 1.45m mini kite free so thanks again for all your help guys.
