Hi All,
I'd like to get my 2 girls into flying (12 and 9) but I don't want them flying my old skool and not easily replaceable kites.
What's good in the 2 line sport kite world for learning, please? Something they can handle, something stable and something that isn't going to fall out of the sky and something I can get spars for when they pile it into the deck. ha ha
Cheers

Hi Adrian. Although I’ve not flown one myself, the one that usually gets recommended is the Beetle by Flying Wings. I can strongly recommend the old Flexifoil Xtro, it’s no longer made but you can probably pick them up on EBay. Worlds Apart/Gunther’s CX170s are also good starters for kids but bin the lines that come with them. Actually rather than bin the lines, give them to Malcolm for the kids workshop kites.

Hi evets, would you mind checking to see if they are in stock, please? I could be interested in purchasing one or two of those.
Cheers :-)

None came my way for clearance on eBay. No sports kites left here, only a 10ft flexifoil and a foil of some kind. I'm not sure what happened to the beatles.

Hi Rokbottom, I've replied on Facebook, I would like to take this for £40 if still available. I'll be at Palm Bay with the family today if that's any good for making payment etc. Cheers Adrian
