Hey everyone,
So a few days ago my girlfriend and some friends went out to fly some kites. A friend pulled out his 3.5 Bullet and we had a ton of fun with it. It was my first time flying a kite that size, and it was fun yet difficult. The winds were probably 20-25mph or so. It never manhandled me, but left my arms a bit tired.
So now i'm looking to get into it. I've been doing a lot of reading and I'd like to try some landboarding. I'll be moving to Austin soon, and I hope I can have fun with it in Zilker Park (or i'll find an area around there if it's banned from the park).
However, I'm hoping one of you guys out here can give me some advice. So far I'm looking into a Flexifoil Blade IV, with an Ex Bar.
I'm also looking into getting a decent harness and board. Anyone have any tips for a first time buyer?
Information: I'm about 140lbs and I'll be starting in <10mph wind. The Blade IV I've read is a good lifty kite, which is why I'm aiming towards it.
