they are easy!!!!
first time out it will take you a good couple of hours so you need a quiet (so no one laughs) and big (so you dont hit anything) field.
once you have the nack you can get the kite from bag to flying in 3 mins (same for packing up)
the more you fly the better you will get but the initial learning curve is very steep so after 2-3 gos you will look pretty confident!
as for fun!!!!! they are mad- use a light wind at first (and light means light, they will fly in a very gentle brezze) once you get better go out on a windy day (or a beach! ) and get hoisted 10-15 up! absolutly mad!
i have done motorcross, bike racing, trackdays, climbing, canoeing, flying, etc and this is the best for putting raw power in your hands! (on a windy day at weston supermare it lifted me (held down by 3 blokes) of the deck and dragged us 50 yards!
T
ps- im only selling cause im 18st and need a slightly bigger kite!
pps- do stuff like this...

11st, what are you 10 years old?
you only get lifted on windy days- i see plenty of youngsters who cant weigh much more than 10st flying on normal days.

ps- scared of heights! you are only going to be 6ft up at most! how do you get up stairs?

1. I am 30
2. I live in a bungalow.
if you only get up to 6ft, thats not so bad, i'll save this thread anyway as it does look like a good doss, I am going away tmorow so i'll see when I get back.
just out of interest how much are they new, and how old is yours?

MJ,
I am sh*t scared of heights too, been on one of these power kite jobbies, they are mental!! - I weigh 12 stone and on a normal day with relatively light wind you can get a couple of feet off the floor easily, well worth the money these things are stacks to buy new for a decent one.....would buy one myself but a good friend of mine has a couple so just blag his every time I want a go!
bttt for Tiggs too
