Hi Guys just wondering if this gear will suit a begginer? I'm looking to get another smaller kite aswell. Are they hard to fly?
I'm 85kg, plannig on getting lessons, the board is 135cm, kite has had one repair.

The seller is a guy from the forum so i assume it would be in good nik.....?

Any comments would be great, as the price is right and all this gear seems to be good.........

Check if its a Rev 1 or Rev 2. The Rev 2 was an 09, the Rev 1 was 08.

The Rev 2 was a pretty decent kite. Not sure about the previous model.

Its the 09 Rev2


Then it would be perfectly suitable for a beginner. They turn fast enough and are very stable.

The rev 13 should work fine for you the board could be bigger but still it will get you started
Have Fun
