Can some one give me the run down on lifty kites? Which ones for static or buggy? Sizes in the 200 lb. range. Wind 5-15mph. Do they have good lift
kites that are not high aspect? I'm looking for lift but do not want a race kite. I dont think I am ready for that yet. thanks to all for any help.:D

Peter Lynn ARCS !!!!! Lets SAyyyy......... 16 m Scorpian ! ? ? ? I think they improved the minimum wind needed. Venoms and Phantoms for cheaper
used. Lets Sayyyyyyyy 18 m ??? but they won't fly in 5m wind.

Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.

5-15mph winds, avoid the ARC's like the plague, they start to wake up in 15mph. Wicked once they do, but that won't really help you.
Tried and true, 6.5m-8.5m Blade IV.
The Blade III's are also a pretty solid kite, they'll get it done. If you're in gusty winds the 7.5m Brooza does good as well.
Sysmic S1 Buggy.
0.7m / 1.4m / 2.0m PKD Buster I
4.4m PKD Buster
10m JoJo RM+
6m Flysurfer Outlaw
12m Ozone Access

My Bego 400 is a sweet kite and offers great float. The 600 would be an excellent low winder. It has been a treat to fly static, use while skiing
and boarding. My BIII 8.5 is my low wind weapon of choice.
Depower Quiver: 14m Gin Eskimo, 10m Gin Eskimo III, 6m Gin Yeti, 4.5m Gin Yeti (custom bridle and mixer)
Fixed Bridle Quiver: MAC Bego 400, JOJO ET Instinct 2.5 & 5.5, Lil Devil 1.5, Sting 1.2
Rides: Ground Industries
