Hi Gainey , im new 2 the site 2 ! sky wizard should be great to start out on and get a feel for things . I started flying bout 3 years ago and now have 8 kites , a buggy , a board and have just built my own "wheels of doom" (kite skates):D Saftey is of great importants in this sport , make sure you got enough space 2 fly in and you aint gonna chop off some dog walkers ears or electrocute yourself on power lines. take a freind along to help launch and land the kite, put your back to the wind and enjoy. i found the flexifoil book of power kiting an invaluable source of information when i started out . Get used to the wizard and when youve got it sussed and start getting board with it thats when you go buy somthing a little bit bigger and probably with 4 lines. Hope this is of help , theres loads of good info on the web and people who do this sport seem 2 be of good nature . its all about the smile !:singing:
