Morning Leg-ends,

I ve been buggying for about 3 years now, and have been using Blade 2's.

The wind in the UK this year has been quite a bit of a let down, so i'm looking for something a bit bigger, at the moment i have a:

Blade 2, 3m
Firebee 4m
Firebee 6m

after using the blade for a while i will never go back to firebee, even though they are great value for money, i want a kite around 6m, but in a good make, I was going to go for the blade 6m, but then after reading about the bullet 5.5 and how 'good' it was for buggying, it got me thinking,

Any thoughts????

Think about the Ozone Samurai. Just acquired the 6m and find it super stable, lots of pull without the lift that a B3 offers. I still love my Blades but for the gusty winds in my corner of the world they offer many unexpected OBEs.
The Sami generates some lift but I have yet to be yanked out of my buggy. It's a great looking kite with the high quality workmanship that comes from Ozone. Get your hands on one and take it for a test drive...

Thanks kb,

Any favorite places to purchase from?

there are numerous shops online but it appears that you are residing in the 'Mecca' of kiting the UK. Ok maybe not the Mecca but there are significantly more shops that could outfit you than here in Canada.
I have purchased these chaps both online and in person http://www.extremekiteshop.com/ ; also http://cgi.five-forty.co.uk/ - small shop in Sheffield that were quite helpful and pleasant to work with; http://www.powerkiteshop.com/. I have also heard good reports about http://trick-of-the-eye-kites.co.uk/, although they do seem to have a smaller selection.

That should get you started. Post your decision and where you purchased. Might be good info for others who are looking for a quality shop.

Don't discount the Macpara Bego, best low wind kite on the market for the money. check Alistair @ www.atmospherekites.com for info.

Gonna go for the ozone samuri,

Looks really nice, and have read numerous good posts about it.

Thanks kb

Thanks scoopy,


You guys are Leg-ends!

Gonna try out extremekiteshop as they give away free stuff too, and prices for the kite are same as everywhere else, so hey... why not!!!

Will let you know how i get on.

Cheers guys

my advice if you want an affordable 6m and good quality go for a radsail pro brill kite

Bego is worth cosidering because it's more stable than the blade but it generates more lift so might not be so great for the buggy.

One of the best buggying kites and my favourite is the PKD Century, they're great kites
