power kites

[Siliconslave]

not totally sure this should be in here... but what the hey

I'm looking to get into power kiting in the near future, partially just to play around with from standing, and partly to play with on my dirtsurfer (think mountian board with 2 large bmx wheels)

what would people recomend for a beginner kite for low to medium conditions with enough power to get some speed up on the dirtsurfer?

Cheers
Sam

I have (or rather, nick my brother's) a couple of Wipikas - not really entry level (and very expensive), and they are designed for use on water rather than land (they have inflatable leading edges).

You could always try some out - there are a fair few places that do kite buggying / boarding, and they will often have huges quivers to try - at the very least, you should be saving yourself from any expensive bad choices.
