CIRRUS 3.0M PRO kite

do people know anything about this kite ?

i couldnt find any user reviews on it on the net.

thanks, elfasa

i dont know anything about this brand of kite, but reading about it there were 2 things that caught my eye...


1. Comes with a free repair voucher
um, i dont think ive ever seen a quality kite listed with a free repair voucher?

2. "Great for jumps"
on a 3m kite???? why would you even consider advertising that? i may be new to the sport but dont the great jumping kites start at around 5m for jumping beginners? (better float for softer landings)

im no expert, but id say stick to peter lynn hornet or the hq beamer to start. excellent quality foils, and great pricing on both

Every single Flexifoil comes with a 'One month free' repair card. You crash and burn it, they fix it......

The 3.0 meter for jumping definitely sounds like someone in the marketing department won a bet.

okay, thanks. i think i will go for the hornet, however, being a student 145 pounds (uk) is a fair bit of money, and ill be pretty much skint for a few weeks at least..

I stand corrected Looks like my newbness is showing here :P

Weird, I saw someone on the beach with one of these today. At the time I had no idea what it was but I recognize the color scheme. Wind was blowing about 25, I thought they were going to kill themselves, but they win tips kept collapsing. Don't know if that was caused by the kite or the pilot... probably the pilot. Thought, being black, the kite did look pretty slick in the sky.

The kite looks surprisingly similar to the Radsails, even the handles. Have to fly one and see what it is like.

Also the site is selling the Radsails Boards/Buggies.
