I've got a Flexifoil Bullet 2.5 and it's loads of fun, small enough to be fast around the sky, but big enough for some traction fun in high winds, and the build quality is fantastic, if we have a kite meet I'll bring it along for some fun

Garonds park, is a good place, I've seen people flying power kites there before.
You need clean wind, so Ideally no trees or large buildings, around the field

Square meters... still has enough to drag you along and get airborne in high winds, but fast enough around the sky to be fun aswell, the bigger kits tend to have loads of power but be quite slow
Your more then welcome to have a go mate

Here's some pics of me using mine in Devon last year...
Those tracks in the sand were from me being dragged along the beach on my heals , My longest continous slide was about 100 yards

All depend on on the usage mate, you don't have to fly it if the winds are to high. the reason I only got a 2.5, is because when I got it in Devon a few years back the winds real high at the time, so anymore then a 2.5 would have been a real handful for a beginner, even the 2.5 was scary, getting airborne for the first time

Your more then welcome to have a go of mine mate, 2.5 is a good starting size for power kites, 1.5 has very little traction, 3.5 has loads, possible to much for fun at times.
