Looking for something moderate
I am new to this. I am just looking for a kite that I can use at the beach with my girlfriend that will lift me off the ground a little bit. Something
of a "moon jump" is what I am looking for. I want to be able to use it as a normal kite, but if I jump it will pull me a little bit. Not to much to
pull me way up there but just to jump and go a few feet and land and still have control of the kite. I am 150 lbs if that helps

I am not sure I would describe any kite that will lift you up "a little bit" as moderate. A kite that will lift you a little bit can always lift you
a bit more. Learn to fly first. Once you have kite control down, then it is time to think about jumping. Learning the other way round can be
painful.

Is it possible to design for strength, if the designer doesn't really understand what strength is?

sorry, i missed reading the whole thing .. and just skimmed through. need to cut back on the Redbull and get some sleep. 24hrs and counting.
my suggestion first would be a small PL Hornet, than move to a little bigger Twister kite.
