Hello, Actually I am paraglider but I am very interested in kites. One month ago I bought one (4,5 m its link is below) can find in Turkey, but I
don't like it. I want to jump and ATB. I have researched for a week but cannot decide I must buy which one. HQ Beamer V 5m or Ozone Octane 5m. please
give me your advice
Thanks.

Ozone and HQ are both quality manufactures… either one will get you going fine on an atb ...I’m having a problem telling a paraglider not to jump..but
ukno, be careful w/ that..welcome aboard

Welcome to PKF!
Sorry you don't like that 4.5m piece of crap you got off ebay - wish you had consulted PKF before buying that, we could have saved you $55.
Nobody on the forum here is going to recommend a 5m kite as your introduction to this sport (we genuinely care about your safety), more something in
the 3-4m size. I'm not sure how paragliding experience translates to flying power kites, but my guess is that the skillset is different enough to
still recommend you still start with a 3-4m quality kite (Ozone, HQ, Peter Lynn, Flexifoil, PKD) and fly the crap out of it
- including the ATB.
When you can fly it blindfolded, it will be time for you to step up to a larger kite grasshopper. :karate:
... then we can talk jumping ...

For a beginner, your best kites to start with would be wither the HQ Rush IV Pro, the Ozone Ignition, or the Ozone Quattro. A size 3.0 or 2.5 would be best to start for any of these three kites.
