Hey everyone just wanted to get some idea's from you as to which kite you think would be better for a beginner out of a 8m griffin chimera , Bws noise and an ozone catalyst? Already own an 11m ozone instinct sport which is good, just find it hard to decide which would be better to progress with?

Cheers for your ideas

Only one of them is in the same league for quality. But all of them would do fine.

I believe all three are top quality kites. Perhaps one of them is the most suitable for a beginner.

How do you think the airush dna holds up against the three?

Hey kit how does your 8 catalyst cope with gusty conditions as I've heard good things about them, I ride edges but I'm looking for a kite for our heavy frontals,that we get here in the winter thanks Cauncy.

It's a very forgiving kite. Many schools use them because they are easy to fly, easy relaunch and good in gusts. Also, not expensive. They fly well forward in the window which means good upwind ability. It won't boost like the Edge but it is quick and well built like all Ozone. I recently got a 10m Reo (surf kite) which I really like. Check the reviews on these out of interest.

I'm a big fan of trying to stay with one brand for your quiver. This ensures interchangeability between bars and similar feel. When you've been kiting for a while, you'll realise that things go wrong (line snaps, etc) and having to switch bars could mean not missing a couple of sessions. If you have an ozone, stick with it

Too true. I have one bar and use it with both my kites. 10m Reo and 8m Cat. When the new bar comes out I'll get one of them and only use it.

theres a ozone 9m sport in the for sale atm
