TOPIC: thinking about a new kite

thinking about a new kite 3 Months ago  
Hi folks so you might know i have a bullet 1.5m and would like to get something bigger i was thinking maybe a 3 or 4m.

I would like to have a kite that lets me jump around the beach and also hopefully be moving into land boarding so i`d like the new kite to be able to let me landboard i`m also of verry small build im around 5.9ft and around 8 stone so the new kite wont need to be to big or you might not see me again

i was looking at the flexifoil blur 3.5m or even a blade 5 4.9m

thanks

Out of the two I would say the Blade 5 4.9 will give you more lift than the blurr, but the blurr and I wouldnt jumpt with a 3.5, 4.0 upwards tends to my own personal rule. You will get airborne with a 3.5 but you need to the surface area to lower you back down rather than drop you like a stone

Shameless plug: If you want a quote for a 4.9 Blade5 (or any Flexifoil kit), give us a shout.

don't bother telling the other half. Get seperate bank accounts and a van to hide all your kite stuff in.

I knew I went wrong somewhere !
I bought the new kite stuff but forgot to buy the van to put them in.
No wonder Tracy keeps finding me out.

Thanks for pointing out where I was going wrong
