Hi,

In my view you can look into to main opposition:

1st option -high-end builders and designers 

Mugen kites (https://mugenkites.com/), Benson kites (http://bensonkites.com/), CKD kites (https://www.canvaskitedesigns.com/), Level one kites and others.

2nd option - Open Source high end kites

Choose one of the extremely well designed open source kite (plans that were donated for free use by to top designers).

Go to the Karel Oh website for details (https://www.kareloh.com/)

You  can build by yourself or ask me or other builders to build for you a full kite or just a sail (you can frame it yourself). We all build as a pure hobby and at material cost.

If you need more details as to any of the options please feel welcome to PM me.

Have to agree - $400 US dollars is an Outstanding budget.

Higher end sport kite brand new, or maybe a couple of decent used ones. If the latter, maybe a Std and an SUL or UL to broaden enjoyable wind range.

Think that moving up in size to a 7-8 footer will do wonders for performance and enjoyment. The smaller ones are quick little bombs, but larger kites -- ooo la-la.

A fun mission for OP in any event!
