Uncertain whether to get a Blade 4.9m or 6.5m as my second kite

workaccount · 21-06-2009, 18:54

The only kite I have at the moment is a beamer 3 3 meter.

I'm thinking of a flexifoil blade as my second.

I want to be able to jump and understand that the 6.5 is supposed to have more float than the 4.9m.

Does the 6.5m and the 4.9 more or less cover the same wind range anyway - I'm about 200lbs. I don't want to get the 4.9 just to find I need the 6.5 and then the 4.9 becoming useless.

Any advice appreciated.
