Good review more or less spot on. The blade II 3 metre was my first kite I'm 16 stone and it tends to pick you up then drop you like a sack of spuds. Now I'm on a bigger kite but the Blade taught me so much it was the best way to go and I am not going to get rid of it as I first thought to finance my Sabre.
I want to get my big arse of the ground and float. I want a kite that will pull me in all conditions and I cant afford more than one. I have a 3m Blade 2 and struggle to get of the ground in less than 20mph then it drops me like a stone. Im trying to learn to land board and there is not enough power. Should I buy a 9.5m or a 11.5m somebody tell me.
