[betty swallox]

hello, i've been playing with fixed bridle kites for a while but ulltimately want to go depower. THERE is a sabre ii 12.5 on ebay at the moment the current price is £149. Are these any good and what kind of money is fair to pay if its in good nick.

cheers

I found the 12m Sabre II too much kite to learn depower on, even after a couple of years on fixed bridle kites, so I wouldn't suggest it as a first depower.

 

It's extremely lifty and a huge kite to handle on the ground if you're coming from smaller fixed bridles. I progressed on depower as soon as I started using a 10m Access XC. Good place to start in my opinion, though if you ultimately want to get into freestyle you'll probably be looking for something with more lift in 6 months. Maybe a Manta or um, 12m Sabre II

I recently got my first Depower, a 10m Frenzy 07. I would think they go for around the same price as a Sabre II and is a bit smaller size. Might be better suited for a first depower I'm getting on quite well with it, enough power to get me flying, but not too much that I feel well out of my depth

 

Thats just my 2 Cents

 

Good luck mate
