2 or 3 kite quiver for Nitnat

Post by raztec »

I've got a limited budget and am only a beginner.
I live between Nelson and Victoria so am looking to ride Nitnat and the Okanagan in the summer months for the next few years.
In the winters, I'll head down to the Baja most likely.

If I went for a 2 kite quiver, which sizes should I get?
How about a 3 kite quiver?

Thx

We have 12m, 9.5m and 7m prodigy school kites going for great deals!
12m/9.5m/7m will get you out in just about anything!

Is the prodigy beginner friendly?
I tried an older one in Costa Rica and found it a bit too dynamic and agile, but maybe I'll get used to it in time.
What are you asking for them?

I'd say 3 kites: 7M 9M 11M and you will always be able to go out in those locations. I have a 7, 8 and 10M but am medium-light weight and the 10M is a light wind Flite. I would say your largest kite should be the kind that is lighter weight and made for light wind. Your smallest is durable for big winds only and your middle kite will be your go to 80% of the time- an 8 or 9M.

Prodigys are awesome - we have the 7,9.5 and 12 between my kids and I. i want to get a 10 m Flite as a bridging kite to allow us to kite together more.

Thanks guys.
I'm 80kg or about 175lb.
Budget can afford 2 better kites or 3 more used ones.
Also, my board experience is very limited so if anyone has a larger beginner friendly board that will help with going upwind, I'd be interested.

Cheers

You can’t go wrong with the prodigies. Plus Ocean Rodeo is a local BC company – how cool is that? Don’t ship your $$ off to some company in the states. Prodigies are one of –if not the – best kites to learn on.

Go with Marty's offer. You cannot loose on that
these are not the pumps you are looking for....
