This is just a case of really bad timing. I just baught a brand new blade II 7.8 for a similar price. I would have prefered a blade III but at the time there were none to be had second hand.

Bummer......

So what smaller buggy kite are you looking at getting, Gav????

[Gav]

raptor, razor, bora .... haven't thought too much about it yet. I just need something to fill the gap between 3m LD, and 4.9 blade. I will see what's around after I sell the Blade I guess.

Lots of choices to pick from!!!!
If your getting a race kite I would say about 3.5m for between the 3 LD and the 4.9 blade.
3.5 Razor, 3.7 Bora or the new Nitro, 3.5????
Is it to be just a buggy kite or for the ATB as well??
Even more choices then.

yeah, I reckon it'd be one of those two that I end up getting..... just for buggy use.... no atb yet, but with this warmer weather I could easily be persuaded to get decked out with kitesurfing kit, but that's another story.

Hi Nigel,
who makes the "Nitro" then?

Kev

[nigel]

The Nitro is the New kite from the old Airea guys. Raptor mark 3??
They are now called U-Turn and have produced three kite ranges, low, mid and high aspect kites.
The Nitro is the high aspect racing kite.
We shall see how they go up against the Razor's??? :)

[kitebuggykev]

Doess Tim have them in stock yet I wonder????

[nigel]

Not yet but very soon.

[kaboom]

just wondering how do the Blade III's compare to the Blade II's in general. Are they much better? if you had a choice between a 4.9 Blade II or a 4.9 Blade III which would most people pick?

[Gav]

They're both awesome kites. I think that the blade 3's are noticeably better in the larger sizes as they are a little quicker and more responsive. I haven't flown the blade 3 4.9 so can't directly compare.... my favourite kite though is a blade 2 4.9.

Gav

oh, and the 8.5 is still for sale!

[schultzie]

i was going to say we had got a bit off topic, i would also agree the the blade 2 4.9 was the best kite, um the threes are good apart fron the 4m and lower, i think that is what goshen said any way, i rember reading about it on the flexi forum
