Cheers for the advice. Well I couldn't wait and am now the proud owner of a Blade IV 6.5 in Petrol. Problem is I cant flyit until later next week so the wind better be good then. The suspense is killing me. This kite looks awsome even lying on the floor!!

Hi, I'm new to the forum, certainly glad I found it makes for some great reading. Anyway I was just after a bit of advice I am going to purchase a Blade IV next week (after Stings and Rages (2.4 and 3.5's) I need something with a bit more kick;) ) but I cant decide between the 4.9 or 6.5. I weigh 14st so I'm not small and will use it primarily for static flying, jumping & skudding etc. Eventually I will use it for landboarding (after learning with a smaller kite!!!) My major concern is that the 6.5 will be to slow to turn through the air and whilst good for jumping may not suit traction activities. Does anyone who has flown both see a marked difference in turn speed between the two and are they both good for lanboarding? And yes I know, start in v.slow winds and build up!! Now Petrol or Midnight? hmmmmmm
