Recently, i bought my little 11 yr old sister a Buzz for her birthday. When i bought it, the packet looked very small, and i was a bit dissapointed. We got it out, and i didn't know how such a lot of kite could fit into such a small bag.
i think that it is about 1 square metre ram air soft foil kite. it is of the usual flexifoil quality, very well made, strong bridles, 25 metres of dyneema line, and some soft handles. the bag even has a gauze at the bottom so sand and stuff can fall out. Neat. It has a piece of line connecting the 2 bridles so it doesn't collapse on tight turns.
So we took it out to the beach in about a 6mph wind, and got it out, with no untangling of lines, just clipped the lines to the bridle and off it went, it flew well in 6mph winds, and it is very fast and nimble. it can pull her along in a strong wind.
so overall, this kite is ideal for:
) someone who's never kited before, or had little experience
) a fun kite to play with, but not expect any serious pull from
) a small person i.e. a child younger than about 12 or 13
Be patient. Sometime in the next year someone will ask you for a go. If you keep a buzz in your kite bag, then you know what to say.
