sparkycrew Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 hy folks,pansh kites are they worth a try or should i carry on saving for a brand name,iam new to kiting and have just started riding a board,not to interested in jumping or big airs just cruising(can i say that)anyway i figure i will need a larger kite for the low wind summer evenings,ive settled on a pansh legend 5.5 to add to my pkd buster soulfly 3.3,are these kites any good or should i keep my distance nick:rolleyes: Quote
necro777 Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 You would be better off going for the new Flux as they are a much better kite. as for quality not quite up there with the big boys but not far off and they hold there value better than most brands. Quote
papalazaro Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 Don't get a legend but do get the flux a mech better kite. Legends are ok but I had a 5.5m and it was a pig were as my 5m flux is great also the blaze 5m is a very good kite on the board with a little lift that would make boarding easier Quote
papalazaro Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 Dang it nick you beat me to it Quote
necro777 Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 just by 2mins any yup the Blaze is a good kite 2 Quote
tvrgreg Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 hi not tried many pansh kites yet but they do intrest me so have being checking all the forums over the last few months, the word is don't bother with the legend old design one of there 1st, but the new flux is the one to look at much better design and loads better quality looking at one of these flux 2m for very high wind buggy use.

necro777 Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 You could look up the Sheffield Kite Fliers and try out some of there lone kites or if your down Bridlington beach give me a shout to try a few different pansh kites Quote
sparkycrew Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Posted January 19, 2012 ok so i have a pkd buster soulfly 3.3 and iam very happy with it,would the buster 4.4 be enough of a step up to use in light wind days,i would like to stick with consistency while learning,will the pansh flux be much different to fly and is 5,5 enough of a step up,i am on a budget and thats wot attracted me to pansh,my other option would be an ozone flow 5 metre,but i would have to save long and hard for that option, nic necro77 are you happy with the quality of pansh kites,yeah will give you a nod maybe summer time would like ago on a beach Quote
eLuSiVeMiTe Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 Buster 5.5 up for grabs here mk1 vg condition Ko or rtf drop me a pm if ya interested. Quote
Batz Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 3.3 to 5ish M is better. I'd echo what the others said on Pansh. Quote
necro777 Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 Never had a problem with Pansh kites there handles are crap though. just don't buy anything over 3 years old as they do a rolling update and not new model numbers so you could get an early one before they got there act together. as your budget is tight I would try a few kites before you buy just so your sure about what you buy.

Sy76 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 I got a pansh flux 5m and superb kite ! Pulls me along on my buggy and landboard well .. To well when wind gets up ! I not had any problems with my pansh kite and delivery was very quick .. An actualy thinkin on getting the 6m flux for summer evenings ! Sy Quote
Squarehead666 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) As I said in another thread, Fluxes and Aces are well worth a look.....But be careful with the latter as they can bite you. There's a really good deal on the Flux kites at the moment.....£180ish total for a 3m & a 6m, is a bargain price for these kites. FWIW & All the best Andy S.

simo1432 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 You could look up the Sheffield Kite Fliers and try out some of there lone kites or if your down Bridlington beach give me a shout to try a few different pansh kites hi yes if your ever around, give us a shout at the skf,no prob to let you have a demo of the pansh's,find me a lot at fraisy to.

skfflyer Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 go for it, for £180 its barely the cost of one other brand kite. I bought the 3m + 6m flux deal with all the accessories (not sure what im gonna do with two plastic mallets yet lol) They're lovely kites and give me such a great range of wind to fly between the two of em. as a fairly new buggier they're brilliant, i not only feel more confident with them as they give me time to think about everything else and are so predictable, once i move on with my learning curve and out grow them i reckon being cheaper theyre not gonna lose me so much money if i sell them.

High wind buggy use! HA! you need to get in the buggy first! Ive flown a 7m ace before and it was a powerhouse. Quote
