Not quite new to kiting, but looking to buy my first kite in about 20 years! I live in an area with average wind speeds between ~8-12 km/h (~5-7.5 mph). I plan to mostly fly on sports fields (and maybe the odd parking lot), and am looking for something smaller in size (<1.8 m/70"). Options in South Africa are pretty limited, but a local store has the HQ Flow (at a very decent price too!) I'm not familiar with HQ, but their kites look quite capable from the few YouTube videos I've watched. So my questions are: how sturdy is the Flow is (i.e., will it survive the occasional nose dive into a soccer pitch), or should I be looking for something a bit more durable (e.g., HQ Limbo II, etc.)? Thanks in advance!
