Hi! I am just after training kite bigger than 2 meters. i just want one so i can muck around on the oval when the wind picks up . so if you have a trainer that you dont use any more give me a PM and we can come to an agreement on a price.

thanks.

I have an old 6M wallend air Rammed air foil. Kite is still in reasonable nick bar and lines might need a bit of work.
If you're interested lemme know and you can come take a look at it.
I used to use this kite with a dirtsurfer(also have a spare one of those) before i got into kiteboarding properly and decided the water hurt less.

I am looking at something a bit smaller than that. say in between 2 & 4 meters? so if anyone has a trainer lying around that they dont use anymore or if someone can recommend any new ones it would be much appreciated!

thanks!

Might be worth checking out the Pansh kites.
They're made in China and sold directly from China; but for the money they're bloody good! I recently bought a 2m Pansh Legend as a trainer and a crappy-day-toy that i could hand around to mates and not cry every time they crashed it. Paid $104 delivered to my door and it arrived in under a week.

That one trainer kite has now given about 4 or 5 people the kiting bug; so they're off to get kitesurfing lessons or they're going to buy their own foil kites and landboard. Best $100 i could've spent i reckon.

What are the Pansh lines like? I had a Chinese noname trainer that is now dead but the lines were crap. I wouldn't mind buying another to keep friends amused while I kite!

Maybe try putting a listing in the Wanted section of the Buy & Sell?

Got my Pansh Ace 2.5m today.

It's awesome! First time I have flown a kite (windsurfer looking to get into kiting) so I can't really compare it to anything but as far as quality and ease of flying it was great.

Like I said I haven't flown any other kites as I am just starting, but this thing has some power...was pretty gusty +-15kts and it was dragging me along.

I'm glad I got something to train with before I take lessons. Not to mention its a lot of fun!

Also, they sent it on Friday and received it on Tuesday.
