Pepper for Boarding...

[Riff]

what are your thoughts on a pepper for land boarding?

 

I'm a noob, so I'm thinking of maybe a 5.5 which won't break the bank and taking it from there.

 

Any suggestions?

Nice kites... Lots of pull.. near zero lift..

 

You could easily learn on them..

very true

 

nice and stable too. easy to turn, forgiving in gusty winds

 

we have a 3.5m and its a magic little kite, so the 5.5m im sure will create good power in light winds

 

nemo - good to hear the phantoms serving you well mate! i have a new depower strap with leash i can send on to you - as i mentioned at the park that day

 

would you like me to send this on to you? its no problem

Yeah Dom that would be great.. Am looking for a 15 and maybe a 12 too now as Sarah is really getting into the Phantom goodness.

 

Cheers

Thanks for the comments chaps. I'm looking at the 3.5 instead I think at the moment... the bloke in the shop (powerkiteshop, just down the road from me) said that should do me for now

 

cheers

I've thought about jumping... but I've been told I'd need a totally different beast for that and frankly I want to speak to people who do in in the flesh, so to speak, before I try. I think I might go for the 4.5 judging by people's reactions as a compromise

I Flew a 5.5 at the weekend In very gusty conditions, and it was great!!!! I'm even thinking about getting one myself as I've just started Landboarding and was looking for a bigger kite, From what I've been told, A bigger Kite gives you more confidence as it moves slower though the air leaving you move time to worry about where your going...
