Someone who can ride without having the latest and greatest gear: who would have thought it was possible...

Thanks too kitehard i am thinking of buying the ozone for him . After asking kitehard a lot of questions (sorry strested out dad) i think it would be perfect for him in the wind range we have here in hervey bay . Lets see how he goes .

I have an old b2 (older than yours!). Need to cut the bar down a bit and get my daughter flying it. Great little kites. Keep us posted on your son's progress.

Opens up the debate on how old is too young to start, my lad will be 1 soon but not ready to fly the trainer yet. Great tool for the kids though looks like a good set up as well.Cheers good on you.

Well he has progressed he know is the new owner of a 4 meter airush dna . After a lot of research we agreed that this kite should be the go . But an email from some one (after i bought it ) said that this was a bit of a mongrel kite in lite winds can anyone else coment on this . I hope i havnt blownen it and bought a dud the kite came from perth so it was hard to test .

Well he has been flying the dna now for a while . YEER HA he got up and going on the board yesterday after about 6 atemps and it was a far ride with a big splash at the end . To see him yelling out something with his hand in the air with thumb up at me , well all i can say is proud DAD . Then to sort everything out and board back to the start with another crash stop you could say he is excited would be an understatment . Only one question to me was how do you stop . What a blast any one with kids out there let them have a go it will be one of my tresured moments.

Congrats....absolutely awesome. My 3 year old daughter loves kitesurfing. Used the B-2 trainer with a shortened bar and 11m lines with 3-4m extensions. I live in perth so its a bit strong for a 3 year old with full line length (20m).
Kids love flying kites (as well as big kids). Just get the right size/power for their tiny weight and the little buggers learn so quickly....
Riding unstrapped and unhooked, your son is way cooler than Sir Rowdy....
