I have been looking for used kites, something pretty cheap to get started and have seen alot of rhinos for sale. Is this kite something i should be looking at? i know it is a higher aspect model, but is it really tat much harder to use?

I learned on an Airrush 6.5 which i guess is the same as an 8 or 8.5 or whatever with the different measurements and on high wind days i can fly it fine at 3rd and only crash occasionally. Im just not sure what i should be looking for with all the different options available. any help is appreciated

It's a decent kite, but you can probably get as good of a deal on a newer kite. Regardless a 9.3 is a bit small for most sites in the Bay Area. The high aspect is less user friendly than a med aspect kite and will be harder to learn on.

I would try to find a good deal on a 2003 model like a SS Fuel, Cabrinha CO2 or Naish Boxer
