    Yeah but I'll be honest I went in Guns a blazing and learned on my own. 4m hornet was my first flight lol Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

    Well yes but I wanted to be on the conservative side lol in my head I'd say get a 8m you'll be good. But who knows his ability. I was being cautious let put it like that lol [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

    I would suggest mastering handles in all wind conditions even the high end of the range... before going to bar and harness. I found it pretty easy to go to bar flying but keep in mind you'll always need more wind to fly in a bar. As far as your kites I wouldn't go smaller than a 3m. But it all depends on what you ability to fly is like. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

    Anyone looking for a solid bag this might just be it. I know most fly framed kites but anyone who has foils or kites that pack down to a size that fits in a back pack this thing is perfect. Switch universal kite bag, was 75$ it's made for lei so it's large in size! Works great and is expandable. Worth taking a look at [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

    I picked up a 7.7 twister last summer I'm sure I can handle the Beamer! Now that kite I'd be safe to say is crazy but a blast to fly! Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

    I would hope we all know the inherent facts of either harnessing or holding on to basically a parachute! Lol these are definitely not for the faint of heart. Before I bought my first foil I watched tons of vids and read tons of materials on flying characteristics. The thing I see a lot is people just don't respect the power that is in their hands and that's when people get in trouble. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

    Yeah, anytime you go to bar from handles your always going to lose turning speed and how tight the kite will turn. No bar will make up for handles Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

    What knot are you break lines on? Should be the farthest out on handle. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app
  25. Mikelp3586
    Of course I have, yeah it's awesome in giving your arms and shoulders a break! Can fly a lot longer in high winds. I love it, the only con compared to handles is you lose some turn ability and need more wind to fly. You can't fly with the bar in anything less than 10 maybe a little less but it's just not fun at that point. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app
