Do you want to learn to kiteboard? Then hopefully you know that you should start off on a trainer kite. However, did you know that most trainer kites have only 2 lines connected to them, whereas real kiteboarding kites have either 4 or 5 lines?
Having a 4 or 5 line kite allows you to "sheet out" ( push the bar away from your harness causing the back of the kite to flag out) which depowers the kite by dumping wind. It also mean that you can fully power the kite up at will by pulling the bar towards yourself, or your harness.
Have you thought about landboarding
If the answer to either or both questions is yes, then you absolutely can not go wrong by purchasing the OCEAN RODEO RISE SLE 2 METER KITEBOARDING TRAINER KITE
Even though it is a trainer kite, it is a true 4 line SLE. SLE means solid leading edge, so this kite inflates just like the real thing. It also comes complete with bar and lines. I would love to get my hands on this kite! It would also make a wicked land kite for cruising around on a mountain board
It would be perfect for teaching others how to fly
If you happen to purchase the OCEAN RODEO RISE SLE 2 METER KITEBOARDING TRAINER KITE
Check it out. And like I said...the Ocean Rodeo is the ultimate in trainer kites!!!
If you plan to get this kite, ideally you will also need a harness
