Radsail Pro

Ok i've had this kite nearly a year now so about time that i did a review so here goes.

This was my first power kite and as such didnt want to spend the big bucks on a blade untill i knew i liked the sport. That being said I was very happy with the kite when i first unpacked it. Build was good and i really like the line winding system, it allows me to have the kite up and in the air in mins. When i bought it the guy in the shop told me to wait for less windy day!!!

As if that was going to happen!!

It took about 15 mins to set eveything up(first time and all). I slowly pulled on the lines and it lifted off with ease. after a few mins getting to know the kite i started to get adventurous and quickly found the power zone!!! WOW It does not matter how many people tell you that power kites are powerful you do not really know wot they mean till you try one. All in all i was very happy with the first flight. My friend had so much fun that he went to buy one two days later.

I love this kite. I has a lot of lift and can pick me up in the right winds( im 16 stone by the way) and is loads of fun to scud with. I have since flown my friends beamer2 3.6 which is good fun as well but more sutied to bugging i think. as it pulls more than the radsail but has nowhere near as much lift. But that being said i have used the radsail to buggy with and it worcks fine.

It does tend to overfly when you try to parkit over head and does need a bit more wind than say the beamer3.6 but all in all this is a great kite for anyone to get into the sport, and to be honest i would not part with mine. It has given me a few scary moments but thats part of the fun.
