These are very easy and super stable. Plus the 4 line system on the LF Havocs have super easy relaunch from the water!
The naish park is worth a look as it has great reviews about user friendliness. I dont use naish now since they stopped production of the helix. Such a pity.
hey Cutsic
You will get genuine kiters here telling u their personal choice is "the best" there is.
You will get the pimps (obvious or otherwise) telling you Kite X is the ONLY beginner kite worth looking at.
They are both misleading.
What you want is ANY latest generation 'delta' (or delta-ish) styled kite from any of the leading, well known brands. They ALL do one and they are ALL more than adequate build quality.
Every one has its quirky little differences (which may make a big difference to experienced kiters) but ALL are safe (depower etc); ALL are super user friendly; ALL are very forgiving of newbies developing skill level and they ALL water relaunch like a puff in the breeze.
As a newby you will be totally stoked & very well served on any one of them.
Dont loose too much sleep over your brand selection. Just make sure you get the right style of kite & the best back-up service.
And professional training and advice. Do NOT go out without proper training and local knowledge. I am a beginner and it really helped me.
All kites are awesome these days, so just by a cheap one and smash it. Then when you get better upgrade then. By then you will know what you want and dont listen to dodgy forum trolls like me.
There are plenty of brands around the $1000 new if that tickles your fancy. Id go with one of those initially, then you dont have to worry landing it in a tree.
Agree, for first kite any leading brand delta would be great, the technology is very sound now. You will smash it, so take that into consideration for price versus year versus condition. Employ someone around you who has some knowledge about how to ascertain the condition of the kite. Once you have learnt the basics then you can begin narrowing down the kite that suites your riding style.

ps...
I also have a 2001, 20 metre nash or cabrinha style kite, green in colour
the safety system has been disabled, perfect for beginners (as seen on ebay) for sale
. Now that really was living on the edge.

I dont get it. If someone is learning or has learnt with a reputable instructor, surely they would be the one to recommend the right kite for your conditions. your only going to get a rough guide on here. What did your instructor recommend.
these are sposed to be the go.any instructor worth their salt should have recommended one these lil rippers
thanks eppo
we havent met yet (as far as I know??) but thought for a minute there I had totally lost a potential pal despite the fact that you give me sh1t way too often here on the forum.
How about you come in some day and introduce yourself. We can beat each other around the head in person about our forum forays. In real life Im 100% quite happy to talk & ride with anyone - regardless of your brand loyalty.
Fact is that I love that you love your (to be un-named by me) favourite kite. If everyone who leaves my store with a new kite ends up loving it as much as you love yours I'd be one very happy retailer.
The best kite out there is the kite YOU (meaning everyone) is totally happy riding. Nothing else matters.
Very true and sorry again I can stand those that use such a tone and I broke my own rule. Yep we will meet someday.
cutsic - i am not a tech guru or frother on this stuff, but i think they are indirectly saying go do some research for yourself on "delta" kites from different brands, pick one you like for the colour or whatever reason makes sense to you - then find a school that uses them to teach on and pay for a lesson and get the chance to fly it (not sure anyone would let you demo one without a bit more experience sorry pal)
i wouldn't get too bogged down in all the delta-ish, C hybrid jargon etc at this stage... which i am guessing you were trying to circumvent by posting here?
unless someone wants to post a list of delta's from all the major brands for your benefit and to save you time?
anyhow, i like white and green
