Well I would not say use a NPW for jumping, first learn to fly your kite then jumping will come later.

Do NPWs have much lift:?: I tend to consider them as low wind workhorses. Blades, begos, crossfires, riots, etc. are for jumping but start small,
in low winds. I know you are young and excited but I don't want to see you hurt. Gain some skills and the jumping will come as a natural
progression.

I'd start with a decent 3m kite, something like the Beamer or Buster. The Profoils wouldn't be a bad option either. You need something small and
stable to learn teh basics on, you don't want to really be doing much jumping on a small kite anyways, learn the basics then pick up a 5m kite for
jumping when you get it figured out, you'll always have a need for a small stable 3m down the road.

I just bought a 3m profoil for a go-to kite as I ripped out a line of bridle tabs on my previous workhorse... the blade. I'v e found the profoil to be
a little squirrelly in gusty winds... it really has a tendency to fold up, more so than almost any other kite I've owned, including razors and jojos.
I would not recommend this kite for a beginner unless it's a clean wind only.
Shopping for another blade... lol

I fly nasa wings inland all the time and they do not have a lot of lift. You need to go with some of the other kites that have been mantioned. Nasa
wings are good flyers in gusty inland wind.
