Flexifoil Buzz

Although initially appearing maybe expensive for a small foil, I have to say in my experience of the kite world, you def get what you pay for except in rare circumstances, like the one we bought for 20 euros in a french supermarket, but the expense of generally finding such kites is unreasonable if you want one now! The buzz was aimed by flexi as a kite that any serious flyer could keep in their kit bag and on days when they didnt want to set up and had 20 mins to have a quick fly before going out etc its fine. Also family and friends can have ago with the buzz whilst you fly down the beach and wonder if your watchers will be there when you ge back.

Its very easy to fly and responses are exactly like those of all its bigger brothers from the stable.

Its predictable copes with gusts, and will fly the window very well, the feedback is good and very little input needed to get it 'buzzing' around, it can be flown by lazy and quick hands alike and will respond, even if you crash it, its quite easy to launch on your own from the handles, just flick it sideways with one line, let the wind move it and roll it over, as soon as an open cell points skyward and flick on the opposite handle and up it goes. An easy size to handle and you can shake sand etc out very easy. You get 2 18M flexi lines which i think are 100kg and a winder, a very cool stuff bag which it all goes into within about 5 mins or less, you can get it out and flying in about 3 mins.

I would def recommend the Buzz to anyone interested in flying kites as a starter, there is no maintenance with this kite, as long as you can tie a larks head knot within 5 mins from new you can be flying it. It does what it says on the tin so the only variable is the flyer, hence fun is guaranteed as long as there is at least 5mph of wind. There is no upper limit to the Buzz wind range, i did read that someone went buggying with one in 40mph+ winds and no reason why you couldnt.

So to sum up, yes £50+ is a lot to pay for a small foil, but its worth it and will last forever and your friends, kids and family can have a go and not get carried away or rip your £300 kite. I guess the est benefit is the kids starting out on a kite like this.
