Slingshot B2 / B3

This kite is so much fun. First try I took it to the park with weak swirling winds and it did not work at all. My walk back home with my head down after buying a 120$ kite that I couldnt get to fly was a walk of shame. I watched a YouTube video (should have done that first) and it showed me what I was doing wrong. First of all was trying to fly it in weak inconsistent directional wind. Took this to the beach this weekend and had a blast! Easy to start so fun to fly you can feel the power yet it is not intimidating. Lines do not get tangled on the kite itself and this thing is very durable! I let my wife and kids fly it I was so confident in its ability to take a crash without any damage. I was strafing our sun shade and took it out without any damage. I love how ready it is to fly . No strings to tie or length to measure just unroll and fly, roll back up and it easily fits back in the bag. You can take multiple sessions and breaks without getting tired of getting it in the air. (Iwould put it away and then want to fly it 5 mins later) In really high wind this thing flys as responsive as a humming bird. MUST HAVE EVEN IF YOU HAVE NO PLANS TO KITE BOARD.

I am using this kite before and now with Kiteboard lessons to refresh some of the basics of kite control. Yes I think a four line kite might be better but as an early beginner it seems helpful. I had it out yesterday in 15 to 18 knots and it was a lot of fun. A little difficult for me to launch by myself, but with a helper it is fine. Once airborne it is responsive and simple to fly. Just be mindful of people walking by and bring the kite up to 12 o’clock and wait for them to pass. Then go back to your kite loops, power dives and figure eights. Wear sun block, as you will be out there at least that long ;-)

used few times in various conditions, easy to use, good to learn the basis of kite handling... good quality construction.

Lots of power and so much fun. I learned to loop this thing in a few days playing with it, and it really pulls. Beach days just got a lot more fun for the family. Mine, anyway. I think the other folks down wind might be a bit concerned that I'm one swoop away from disaster, but there is a definite thrill to the risk.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this trainer kite. It works really, really well. it is clearly exceptionally well designed, it controls really well, it survives hard landings, the lines are strong enough for our East Shore tradewinds. I weigh 150lbs and it frequently drags me around quite a bit (without breaking) when the tradewinds are heavy. Actually, it's strong enough to drag my 200 lb boyfriend too when he drops it in the power zone - without breaking. I've dropped it in the water and on the sand (hard, repeatedly) and it's still good as new. But most important, it's doing an extremely good job teaching me kite control, which is what it's really all about. I find it to be highly responsive and my man showed me a few amazing tricks that never even occurred to me, exercised with precision and control. Worth every penny - I love it :)
