Hi everyone!
I just got into kiting due to my friend allowing me to play with his Symphony 2.2, a lot of fun so now I want a power/traction kite!
I've seen a bunch of youtube videos, read reviews & it looks awesome.
I never knew kites were so expensive nor there was an entire culture around them. Regardless I want to become part of it!
Basically I'm looking for a kite that would allow me to do those crazy jumps I've seen in videos. People being lifted up up to 10feet! (doesn't have to be that high) when they jump.
What size kite would I need to get that kind of pull? I'm 5'8" @ 190lbs
As I mentioned, I don't have much money so I'm also going to have to buy it from the forums or ebay, etc as I've seen such kites costing $300+. The max I can pay right now is maybe $220.
Can you guys educate me?
