Hi
i am in need of a new kite to take kiting to the next level. I have been flying a flexifoil rage 3.5 and have just started to land board aswell. I am quite familiar with the flexifoil range but am not with others. Could anybody suggest a good kite that will be good for a beginer at boarding? I was thinking of a flexifoil blade 4 4.9 or 6.5. would a blade be a good kite to choose and which size should i choose if i was to get a blade?
any comments at all welcomed.
thnx

p.s i wiegh 11 stone

For kite landboarding? I recommend Ozone Access or Frenzy. I think there is one for sale in this forum. - Brian

How good are you on a landboard? A blade 6.5 is a big step up from a 3.5 rage!!

ive pretty much just started but i think im ok and thre is never any wind wer i live so the bigger the better

I would reccomend you look for somthing with less lift than a blade if you are just starting to landboard. They are for big air and until you are ready to take off on a board you should practice with your Rage... Once you can sucessfully go up the beach, turn and come back down; skud and do small jumps just hold your horses! I know lots of people who have bought a kite too big or too powerful for their experience and have been put off the sport because they cant handle it. Remember that you can ask your LKS to lend you a kite for a day if its not windy enough!

currently Flysurfer and P.Lynn kites have best windranges. I use both and sell both, but prefer the flysurfers. when learning, the flysurfers offer the best safety and relaunch and durability along with bow-like depower.

what are the wind conditions? gotta start there and figure an appropriate kite in the middle of its wind range.
