Sport Kites

http://www.prismkites.com/ check out their galleries. I found that a lot of the
stunt kites have a really soothing feel to
them, visually (the micron, however,
was pretty frenetic). I think these could
be good subjects for mixing into a presentation.

I started kite surfing a few months ago so, its advisable to begin with land based kites. What I found was when looking up into the sky at a kite is really soothing but, also really sore on the neck.

What I also found was, doing gigs all night wasn't the best preparation for getting up early and going out on the water. But none the less, an excellent excuse to scare the shit out of myself !

Yeah. I'm getting my first "real" stunt kite for my birthday on sept7th... Prism E3... I"m excited.

What size is your new kite?

I would recommend something in the 4 to 6 metre range, so that if you want to get a buggy or mountain board - it will have enough capacity.

The kite I have is last seasons but still good - 11.2 metre inflatable. Saw a 20m recently - feckin huge.

Adios

I'm getting the Prism E2. It's a delta wing kite, not a traction kite. A framed kite...Made for stunting, rather than
power...

it's 2 meters across :)
