I've heard good things of the PKD Centuries. I think Kitemare has some in his shop at Barnstaple

[Beancapooer]

Yes not very knowledgable there but people do seem to love those centurys

3.2m HQ prodigy bloody excellent kites

[Batz]

2.3 Pansh sprint. KO £80 posted any good to you?

[avspider]

Why do you want a small race kite?

[Nick1599968727]

what do you fly now?

id stick with one type of kite and maybe one make, you will learn them better?

if its very small its going to be for high wind, did you mean a high wind kite?

more info required

Just seen a pl reactor 3.8 for sale on ere,,

don't know what they are like though,.,,

probably too big and a vapor would be better.

Just bare in mind that a 3.2m PL Vapor is £420 new:eek:

 

As mentioned what are you flying at the moment and why do you want a small race kite?? The little ones tend to bite hard if thing go wrong:D

Its some kite though ped.

As ped says the little ones are the fast and scary ones when you take you eyes off them

maybe a kite for low wind, my 16m vapor works well

[Benbarden]

Low wind kites what u need it's a bitch getting all the way to the ho to find out all u can do is move about at 2mph

[Batz]

Anything above 5.5? lol.

[colin54]

Yes I was thinking about that. When its windy thats cool i'll go spearfishing my other love

 

any ways i didnt think that was to bad for a week of buying kites

last week i had a 4.5m razor a 3m+4m radsail pro

Colin u said u would not hook in after you last OBE did u change your mind

I think if your flying small race kites in high wind u need to hook in so u can better use brakes

[colin54]

I still havent used it (weow) gota get me a better snatch block . made the spreader bar at work the other day would be nice to use it on long runs so i can text while im on the go ,you know like fu~#ing lady drivers:p
