Would love to have something for my next lesson.

why? because your instructor doesn't provide gear?

dude. if you're taking a lesson, use the schools gear!!! why would you beat up on your own stuff???? the longer you wait, the cheaper it will be and the more educated you will be about what gear to buy. wait until the last possible moment before buying something.

also, the used market is much bigger than you realize. everybody and their mom has a used kite they will sell you. make friends at the beach. better off buying gear from a friend who has a vested interest in not selling you crap than buying off CL or ikitesurf from someone who doesn't know you.

Adam is right. Unless you are ready to bodydrag on your own right now you could wait. In a month or two there will be tons of good gear available as people move to the 2010 gear.

Now there you GO!! And I can vouch for this lad, he's legit!!

yah. you should buy Russ's gear...that guy NEVER kites! (i'm serious...where have you been man?) (and yah, i'm serious, you SHOULD buy those kites, those are good learner kites from a reputable source....THAT is what you want!)

Erika, as a close comparison, my newbie kiter girl has the same weight as you do. Her bread and butter kite is a 7 meter (Turbo 2), and her light wind kite is a 9 meter (Link).

Those combinations of the rebel should be good to go, 7 and 10, you will probably be using the 7 more than the 10.

HaHa Guy's- SLINGSHOT SCORES AGAIN!! :D
Erika chose a 7m Rev thats HOT PINK!! =P~ =P~
But I must warn you: She learns so fast and is so strong she's bound to be world champion within the year- better move quik if you want to ride with this little hottie!

Let the chase begin...

Well, I don't know about world champion, but if I can be good enough to play with the big kids, I'll be pretty darned happy! Going for more lessons at Hood River tomorrow! Woohoo!

So Erika pulled a fast one-
She E-mails me and tells me she's getting a Slingy then she buys not one but two North's..
I guess I was a bit premature.... So it appears SlingShot lost :shhh:

ha ha, come on folks, she's not gonna notice the difference....they are both great beginner kites . . .hopefully she got a good price . . .you'll have plenty of time to convert her after she's destroyed those kites in a year or two :-)
