Eolo Radsail Pro 3

This is the second kite I bought brand new it comes with lines, handles and obviously the kite. A bit disappointing was the lack of kite killers (which I think should be standard issue) and ground stake. It did come with handy hats for the handles to wind the lines on to if you don't parapack. The only downside was the bag, the main zip lasted two outings before it broke, so I replaced the bag with one off the market.

Setting up was nice and easy as the lines were attached to the handles already and at the other end they were clearly marked with a bit of card. The bridle unravelled easily and again there was a bit of card explaining which was which bridle. This I can see as being very helpful if it's your first kite as it took me a while to work it all out the first time.

My first flight was in about 5mph wind and I wasn't expecting it to fly but you still have to have a go when it first arrives. It did fly, not much pull and no lift but what do you expect in 5mph winds. A couple of weeks later the wind picked up to around 15mph and it was in it's zone. There was good predictable pull and it came on gently instead of ripping your arms off, it's very stable and easy to fly. There is a good amount of lift and it doesn't dump you on the ground after. I've managed 6 foot jumps flying it static on a harness easily. When on the board it delivered good speed nice pull and moved my boarding on lots, still haven't managed to jump with it on my board.

I would certainly recommend this kite to anyone, it's build quality design and pure fun factor is fantastic.
