No never read anything about that. Wasn't aware really, they have served me well in the past but for different uses, I wasn't sure they were suitable which is why I asked the question, obviously you have now pointed it out. The sale fell through on the blade I was after but have decided to go foe a 4.9

Sounds like a good day mick, I like a workout and a laugh with no injuries, that was my first power kite experience, puffing like a good un with grass all over me killing myself laughing!

Thanks for the heads up! Never had a superman, is there a was to avoid?

Sounds like a 4.9 is on the cards with lighter winds to begin until the flesh on my backside toughens up!

Thanks, is that what everyone uses?

I'm just I'm the process of buying a 2nd hand blade with no lines or handles, a simple question but one I'm not sure of, when I get the lines and tie them to the kite what is the best knot? I have always used bowlines in the past because they can be undone even if put under a lot of pressure. Is there anything better suited?

Scary

Has this thread finally died??!!

Thanks, sounds worth bearing in mind. My rage is 3.5, should I get a similar size blade to start with?

I have very good wind knowledge as In previous threads I'm an ex sailing instructor so may give one a bash I think

South Devon

People say they are nor for beginners, I'm confident with mine, what sort of thing would be a gauge as to whether I could fly a blade

Having read lots of threads and seen videos I wanted to ask. What makes the blades so powerful? Also are they as stable as my rage or less predictable?

Why!?
