that new single strut airush kite looks nice

Go with something that's light on the bar, light weight, and generates some good apparent wind. Also, you want it to relaunch easily in light air.

i highly recommend the alpinefoil access 5.0 incredibly stable and good performance. with xlp wing it can go to about 28kts

havent ridden the others but i have owned wainmans for the last 3 years. v1 and v2. the v2 rabbits are very good jumpers BTW. but the feel is really just perfect for my tastes. very fast turning very grunty and extremely smooth and forgiving.

you can really just forget about the kite and ride.

it took me over 12 hrs of lessons to get up and riding. back when kites had no depower it was a very unforgiving learning curve. after about the 10th time out i started doing ok but every session ended with some kind of drama. torn kite, line tangles, being scared out of my mind, you name it. stick ...
