Ive got a 20m North Rhino 02 that would be perfect for you. Its the perfect kite for a 70 kg rider in 20 knots. I'll sell it for $1000.

But seriously,

If you want people to be really helpful, how about telling where you are so we can advise you to go to whatever shop and get some lessons. Its quite a big jump from a 1m "practice kite" to a 12+m full size beast.

Otherwise any kite shop will have a trainer kite.

Oo, I am looking for a trainer kite and was just wondering because people only use them to practice and then move onto 10m or so kites, so i was just wondering if anyone has one that they can sell me to get cheaper. i live in redcliffe.

Mate, do yourself a favour and head down to your local when the winds blowing and hang around some guys that look like they know what there doing. Look, listen and ask questions. That way you'll have a bit more of an idea what to ask on the forums. It just may save you from some of the grumpy old barstards on the forum tearing you apart later with the usual " use the forum search tab" crap.

good luck mate.

Yeah thats what people on eBay try to hock to beginners, gigantic ancient kites that are "perfect for beginners" That info you got is solid.

if you want to go real cheap, any two line (ie stunt kite) kite will give you very basic kite flying skills. I'm sure there will be some cheap stunt kites on ebay. Saves you forking out 200-300 for a trainer kite. Go practice then go get some lessons.
