I quite like the look of this one.
Flexifoil Sting 3.3 (in petrol colours)
This is classed as a recreational kite rather than the Rage which is a kite designed for pulling a buggy (traction class). The Rage was very tiring to fly so I wonder if the recreational class would be a bit more enjoyable without almost ripping your arms out of their sockets!
It's bigger than the rage though....3.3 as opposed to the 2.5, although they do it in a 2.4 aswell.
Anyone know what this one is like to fly?

You wait until you've been dragged about for 15 mins by the rage and then see how you feel about it!

I just have actually, I didn't realise this was the one he's got. From the sounds of it, it actually suits me fine.
The Rage is fun but to be honest after a little while you just feel like your fighting the damn thing the whole time rather than flying it.
The Rage would be good if you were on a buggy or a board but for stationary flight i think it's too powerful tbh. Great for pub talk and great for looking like a **** sliding around the field on your face!
