I'm fighting the urge to drive over to Bluewater and visit Air Born Kites: 
Although this place is literally just round the corner!

Sting 3.3 will drag all your asses about on a windy day lads... even the fat boys!!
If you wanna do some propper ***** waving... get something with an area in double figures...
Its less power as it is only on 18m lines, unlike the traction ones that are on 25m at least
Quoted from the Flexifol website
The STING
"Suitable for recreational, landboarding, buggying"
An affordable high quality four line ram air style kite with good solid power which delivers clean steady acceleration. The simple direct control makes you feel really connected to the kite, allowing you to develop your flying skills and with the easy relaunch system its perfect for solo flying.
"Available with handles or bar"
The Sting is available to buy either with 4-line control (handles) or 2-line control (bar). Both options are backed up by the Flexifoil safety system, meaning that if you need to, you can simply let go (of the handles or bar) and the kite safely depowers and falls to the ground. For most flyers we would recommend the handles option. If you are looking for a kite to assist with kitesurf training or a teaching younger kiter than we recommened the bar option.
"Leading edge gauze"
The leading edge gauze mesh gives the kite exceptional stability so you don't need to worry about it folding or falling even in gusty wind conditions. An easy re-launch facility allows the kite to roll off its leading edge then flip upright and smoothly fly back up into the air! Bullet-proof construction improves crash resistance and distributes the load from bridles.
"High wind, ultra stable, tough and safe traction"
The Sting also has a place in the kit bag for advanced kite buggy pilots as an ultra stable, high-wind traction engine. Kiting in conditions that would usually be classed as unsuitable is now possible due to the Sting's gust absorbing properties however we do recommend that you upgrade the flying lines if you are planning to use this kite for this purpose.Colour coded flying lines and proven safety system for hassle free, easy set up and confident flying.
"Incredible value"
The Sting is incredible value and is sold with everything you need to get flying. The package includes: kite, control gear (with Flexifoil safety system), flying lines, full comprehensive instructions, storage bag and some Flexifoil stickers. There’s even a one month no-quibble free repair just in case.
Comes complete and ready to fly with,
Sting kite canopy
Handles or bar
Flying lines
Instructions
Registration pack
Free repair card
Kite storage bag
