Hello Trevor,

I wouldn't worry about buying any kites yet. I would focus on locating and then taking the best instruction that you can find. You will get to use their gear and their risk and by the time you have been through it you will have a stronger idea of your own on sizes and even types of kites that might work.

I think windwing is working on something similar to the Crossbow but I don't believe it is out yet. To the best of my knowledge the Rapture at present has a different design.

There are a lot of ideas on how to get into the sport located at:
