My first big kite is the Griffin. I also love to fly it. I have a set of 85lb line some light spares for when the wind goes down.

What a rush! : I have the Griffin 3 Stripe, and love it. How much bigger is the Griffin : please?? To answer the previous question and this one.... The Griffin and The Griffin 3 Stripe _are_ the same kite. There is no differance except the 5mph higher wind rating :) The Griffin has a wing span of about 8 ft. It stands about 3 ft and pulls like a mule in strong wind! I'm not sure who makes it, but Into The Wind carries it. I do know that it is made Localy (Boulder CO).
