Newbie Kites

Hello,

What would be a good beginner's kite? I've been looking at the HQ Symphony 1.8TR and the HQ Rush III 250 2.5, or if you guys/gals have any better ones to recommend. My budget is $150 - $100.

You could also have a look at Pansh kites in that price range. They have some good offers with a free kite chucked in here and there.

I have a Quadrilfoil Q2000 2.0m with lines and handles for 95.00 this is and older kite in good shape. It is the kite I learned on and has taught several other people.

I also have a 1.5 meter ProFoil with lines and handles for $50.00 this is a good small kite but very fast a little harder to fly but it would teach great skills.
