Signature Profoil 3.5 m
Folks,
If youre looking for a soild fixed bridle buugy or board engine at a great price, look no further. Solid in the window, grunt gallore, sines well, the
whole nine. Ive flown this kite 3 times now, once in low winds, 5 to 10, next in 10 to 15, and finally 25 gusting to 30 and she performed. Oh did I
mention stunter? This kite can multiple spin on the tips and once you start to get dizzy, pop a little brake and she halts to a stable horizontal.
Build is very nice as is the bag. Handles are ok, maybe an upgrade needed here but for $115 shipped, cant beat it. Rollin on hard packed sand (KGB) in
12mph. Sines well and gets upwind well. When you find the sweet spot in bigger winds it will park and pull like a truck. Finally you lift and float
addicts-- it does both pretty well in 25 mph winds. Again, I was a little concerened with the sail holding its shape in big winds but it delivered!
I tried this kite after seeing all of PDXnebulas posts. I thought he must have been on crack (sorry Neb you know I love ya man) but now understand his
admiration of the Profoils. It is an awesome kite! Fly hard and safe!

It is only the smaller kites that he has left. I'm not sure at this point if I can get a lot of use out of a smaller kite than my 3.0. I guess my 8
year old Jared could use one sooner than he could the Beamer. The price and credibility is enticing. I'm just not sure what size would most
compliment what will someday be a quiver. Prolly the 1.5 I imagine.
