Thanks Wheels

that would have to be a first ,someone inquiring about a kite for a beginner that didn't come off the ark and that actually flies
i still use my 7m rev (1) whenever i can ,fairly bulletproof apart from the centre line
...way to go wheels!!

Thanks for the feed back,I now have a 9m north rebel and looking at a 09 slingshot rev 2 11m, flying training kite and will now book lessons,do you think i should use my kites for lesson or am i better of using their gear?
Thanks again

djdojo is right.
Especially as a learner it is good practice to fly the same kites.
Personally I wouldnt put a beginner on a Rebel. Nothing wrong with them just a bit more technical and 'different' than a beginner needs to deal with. IMO the Rev would be a better choice at your stage, but not by a whole lot, so if you already have a rebel then go a rebel.
And Yes - there are lots around. We have an 11M in great condition in our pre-loved "op" shop as we speak.

If you go to the right school (ie most of the 'good' ones) you will probably be offered a package which will save you heaps on your gear set up. New or Used.
