PEEL5 is this a good Kite???

Hoi, I am new to kiting in Belgium.

I have a question.......

is a PEEL 5 from Peter Lynn a good kite for lifting me ??

I'm around 90Kg or 180 pounds(pounds, i think) I don't have a great deal of experience in kiting, but i'm learning.

Thanks , and i wis you're all good wind

no a peel is not a good kite, to lift you up, take for a C-QUAD 6,2 m2

also from Peter Lynn

There are better kites nowadays on the market but the peel is still a good kite for jumps, i guess

Yes the 6.2 C-Q pulls like a tank, but is it honestly suitable for someone to learn on? How many innocent C-quads have to die in the hand of inexperienced beginners (Spa and spines broken)? Expecting a novice to tune a C-quad to stop it from breaking out at the top of the window and trying to knock them out on its decent path to earth, is not a good experiance for a beginer.

A mate of mine has an 8 (6 if zipped up) metre Peel and loves it, especially for lower to medium winds. It does a pretty good job of lifting him.

IMHO, it's one of the nicest looking kites too.

neen, de peel is niet goed om te springen, koop een nieuwere foil, geen c-quad (te moeilijk) blade, predator, xl...
