Re: Wanted: 4 or 5m LEI kite for trainer

Was considering a trainer myself....

Again much love for the advice..... :thumb: I'll take a look at the last few posters advice on all fronts, including the DVD, not buying new, etc. I finally took a look at the winds on several different sites and was surprised how low they were and were on average.
