 | I've never owned a kit, but am interested in getting one.
Budget £150 (birthday pressy) Probably not gonna upgrade, so this has to last me Location: South UK Age: 26 Weight: 87ish Kg (got a lot of upper body strength, which is probably of use)
I want to use it for jumping at the start, maybe one day buggy or boarding, but to start with just want a kite that will lift me up and drag mne along easily. Ideally one that is reaonable for other activities so I could always use it in the future.
No idea on wind speeds - want it to be powerful all the time -a lthough I appreciate not possible
Must be strong/robuts
Any ideas on what to get? And of good (online preferred) suppliers
The Blade's look good - but not really in my range as I'm assuming I need 5 sq m or something. What are flexifoil 10's like (unstacked)
All help appreciated
Cheers

Forgot to add - the beamer 5.0 is only £175 and 4.64 sq m plus 4 line control - what's that like?
