Any advice would be appreciated!!

Had great fun playing with a 12m flexifoil atom kite in Rhosneigr, Anglesey on Saturday. It's my husband's kite and I need something smaller that we can both use. Really loved the kite it felt very responsive and safe (I'm a beginner, had lessons in Tarifa in April, just starting water launches)!

Thinking of getting the smaller version (7m or 9m) of the same kite to get a bit of experience/confidence, is that a good idea or does anyone have any other suggestions?

9 meter caution mayhem, same safety, but a lot more responsive/ quicker, whilst still being stable. Oh and itll save you hundreds. Loads of other kites to, so many to choose from. ozone are always great if you want to spend bigger money. Glad your enjoying

I really like the Atom 08 9m. Like Shem says, there are plenty of other options out there. Your Hubby might be persuaded to have a smaller kite for the stronger wind days....?

You won't be dissapointed with the 9 though. The 7 would probably be a bit too small....
