I really wish I knew some other people around me that flew kites. Looking for groups around Los Angeles, I've only found people roughly an hour away.

I think that's going to be my plan. The more I can make this a hobby for myself, the better.

Very good to know about the lines. My Nexus came with 65' 90 lb lines. Are those a bit too short for the Kymera/trick flying in general? Any good online places to pick up a new set? Is it better to make my own?

Thanks for all the quick advice. I think I've pretty much decided that the E3 is not for me. I'd rather have something that flies in a closer style to most other high end stunt kites. Either way, it definitely doesn't have to be a Prism kite, and it's good to know HQ is at least a trusted brand. The Kymera also looks to be available on Amazon. I know people are pretty biased around here :-), but it does seem to be right in my price point sweet spot, and it's gotten lots of good reviews on this forum when people ask for advice on where to go next. Any thoughts? P.S. It says on the product page for the Kymera to use 90-lb lines...does that mean it doesn't come with lines? The only other kite I have is the Prism which came with lines and handles. Any good places online to pick some up? Should I only use 90-lb lines of any length? (/noob questions)

So it seems I'm ready to upgrade from my Prism Nexus which has done me well as my first stunt kite and taken all the punishment I could throw at it. Coincidentally, I received a nice size Amazon gift card for my recent-ish birthday that I've yet to use. That said, what is the highest quality/best stunt kite that Amazon carries. Any recommendations? I see they sell the Quantum Pro through some 3rd parties. Is that my best bet?
