I am in the market for a new kite and have decided that I need a Flexifoil. I have looked through several kite catalogs and find myself at an impass. Too many Flexifoils, too little money. I am only an average flier so I don't want anything too wild, but I do want something that will give me a bit of excitement without heart failure. Any suggestions will be appreciated!! Please email me as well as posting here as I don't seem to be able to get all of the postings from here.

IMHO, I'd save up and get a 10'. No it's not too wild, in fact with the ultra lite spar, it flies in 2mph. Its a great low wind kite..very elegant. But when the wind's up, baby...put it on 300lb lines and have a blast. You'd need more than one to get wild though. I have a 3 x 10 stack, and in a wind, its psycho. If you get a smaller one, you'll just want a 10 or 12 eventually! Cheers..

Of course, Dave Baresi makes great flexi handles/arm extenders which help, too. Alice Hayden = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
