Hey, was hoping If I could get some advice about buying a second hand kite.

Was looking at the 12m/9m Liquid Force Session 2008. Would this be a good first kite? I'm not very experienced. I have taken a lesson and know how to fly a kite, and can go upwind sometimes. Been using my brothers kite but now need my own.

Would the 12m or the 9m be better for conditions in Sydney/Wollongong.
Does the Session 2008 go upwind easily?
Is it a beginner friendly kite?

If anyone has used this kite, any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Peter

Sorry forgot to mention that... 70kg

i like LF kites the only downside with them is they dont have below the bar safety but that isn't essential.... the sessions are good kites. i have only ever had problems with strings breaking except for a learner that wouldnt be an issue

I have a 2009 Griffin 9m for sale. It is a very good kite with massive range. it's my only kite that i use and has amazing depower. If you plan to kite botany in the summer a 12 will be way too big!

I'm the same weight as you and am usually the first on the water. I would keep this kite but I will be helping griffin test the 2010 kites soon so need to part with this one. Let me know by PM and I can get you a good deal.
