Hi, I live near Seattle, WA and two years ago was introduced to stunt kites. Since then, I fly about twice a year, since I have to persuade someone to drive me down to Long Beach (I'm scared to get my permit) I can fly normally without crashing, and am going to start learning tricks at the Kite Festival in August ( attempts to persuade mom to go down there president's week break failed). I have a Phoenix, and just today received a New Age for my birthday. Haven't flown it yet, because the wind here is nil, and when it does blow very gusty. i suppose i should wait till I have flown the New Age to see what I am looking for in a new kite, but.... The New Age wasn't exactly my first choice. I know it's good, and I will probably love it, it's just I was looking at others. i currently like precision, but need a kite that will also trick easy and will carry me as high as I can go. I would like to compete in something when i learn more. I don't have the money to keep updating, but am willing to buy two good kites that will never need updating. I also am looking for an UL.
Kites I am looking at (and wanting badly!)
- :Dthe Mamba
- the Gemini
-?? The mantis
-??The Delta Drive
- The Quantum Pro
- Sano SS
- ADX
- Tramontana
- STX 2.3
As you can see-too much!! Please tell me what you think! These aren't even counting the UL. any recommendations for those? 0-8 would be cool.
