My full Quiver of Kites contains a 1.7m, 2.3m, 3m, 3.3m, and the 6.8m.


For those interested in getting into it to feel the rush of power, a 2.5-3m is enough to wet your pants and scream like a little school girl.

quad lines kites provide braking, and reverse launch capability, but a twin line steerable foil is still a hoot.


This 3.3 was my first, not too expensive at $150 shipped, which is a great deal.

My wife's Beamer 3m is an excellent kite too, but is double that price, but also is twice as responsive as the Buster Soulfly.

if people are interested, peak here for great deals on used gear.


Wise words of advice, don't go any bigger than 3m for your first foil. I keep mine in the back of the car for spontaneous fly, as a foil simply rolls up into a small duffle bag,
