I bought this kite as it was on special when I bought the radsail buggy (review to come) so I wasnt expecting much from a 2.4m kite.
My first impressions were good, I hadn't bought a kite in 5 years so I don't really know what I was expecting, but it certainly wasn't what arrived. The rucksack was good quality, and when I unpacked it in the kitchen I thought overall great quality... things have obviously changed a bit!
I wasn't expecting much from flying it so it sat in the back of the car for a couple of weeks after it initial flight in quite light winds. I found it responsive and easy and thought "well that's a kite I can let friends play with" until I went out in gusty 25mph + conditions.
WHAT A REVELATION!!!
After being bitch slapped by my beamer I got this out and what a revelation... I was buggying with a 2.4 kite!!! It pulled well, was incredibly predictable and did absolutely everything I asked of it... WELL!
I couldnt beleive I had been having problems even getting going with my 5m Peel and here I was flying round with a big s*@t eating grin absolutely ragging down the beach on what I had thought was going to be "a crappy little kite for friends to play with so the Beamer doesn't hurt them!"
In conclusion I have to say I absolutely love this little gem of a kite, and am seriously thinking about buying the 5m Radsail Pro! I am a buggier and occasional boarder and it does me fine in the buggy on windier days (Im 13.5 stone) and it does it well. Its a bargain at 60 notes and the quality is great.
Its a great great addition to anyone's quiver.
