Hi out there any thoughts . My son is wanting too get into kite surfing aswell he only weighs 35 kg . What size kite would be good and what size trainer kite . Or is it possable too kite surf with a trainer kite. Can you get trainer kites have depower systeme .he is as bad as his dad with addrelin sports . I think it is great farther son thingey.
Contact Jon or Rhys at Kitepower Redcliffe, Rhy's youngest brother started very young, I think he was 11/12 and he was a small build, they sorted gear for him and will know how to help you.
There are no trainer kites that have variable depower, but there are excellent trainer kites like the Ozone ImpIII trainer that have a total depower system, that also works as a handy kite relaunch system as well. They make a 1.5M size which would be perfect for your son.
Ozone, Cabrinha are two brands we stock in sub 5M sizes, Ozone have a 3M Light XC (in stock) and Cab make 4M Switchblades (in stock), getting the Ozone 3M Light would also double a trainer kite provided he flies it in the shallow water and not on the sand and of course both will require a harness, whereas a trainer kite does not require a harness.
I would recommend getting him and ImpIII trainer kite and get him flying that he will be super impressed with it if you help him out till he has the hang of it. Let him spend quite a bit of time learning essential kite control skills with that kite before putting him on the water.
