I initially bought a symphony HQ 1.4m after flying this on the beach in a gale in Aberdeen and having a fantastic time, i thought I must get something bigger! Of course I thought flexifoil!
Ordered the proteam 8 on the internet, and it was delivered the next day.
The packaging looked pretty impressive, a long narrow bag, with vents.
Got everithing out in the lounge and thought this is the buisness, excellent a huge kite! Came with lines, well padded handles instructions , repair voucher and sticker!
First flight was at Harlech beach, north Wales -wind blowing 8-15mph.
Got it out the bag, easy to set up and attatch the lines and handles (lines very long). Launched with the assistance of my wife. Kite went straight up, turned easly - but there was no pull at all, when it got anywhere close to the edge of the wind window down it would come! I was trying to look like I was enjoying myself as I had just spent over £100 on a kite!
Later on met with a freind who had brought a Ozone little devil, and a blade 4.9. After flying those I new I new i had wasted my money...
see the beginners guide here
I sold the proteam 8 on ebay and lost 20 quid! But i am now the proud owner of a Ozone Samurai 5m and am still waiting for the British weather to sort it's self out so i can fly the thing!
