Theo Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) Hi! I am trying to get into this awesome sport, and would love some advice on how to start! My current plan is to get a wing soon, and practice kiting over the winter. Next summer, I plan to get training at a place near New York City, and then purchase a motor. I am currently considering the Dudek Universal, and the ozone Mojo.Would this be a good idea? If so, I would also be interested in what kind of wings you all might have for sale. Thank you! -Theo Edit: BGD seed looks great, but seems a little pricey for a kiting wing. I have had somone offer me $300 for a rather old (from around 2000) Edel Atlas. Is that a deal or a scam?

Theo Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 After some further research, i am considering getting an older used wing to use for kiting, and kiting only. Let me know what you have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flypapuk Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Instead of a used old wing have a look at the BGD seed, great for stronger conditions too https://flypap.co.uk/product/bgd-seed-ground-training-wing/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganbatte Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) I can't compare against the Seed because I've not seen one, but I bought a similar kiting-only wing a WindPlay (Everest brand, seems to be an Air Conception brand) for $750 shipped from Eric Dufour at paratours, and am quite happy with it. It's a perky little thing at 12 meters, likes to really pop up in light wind, will test your reflexes (I have a way to go before I'm fully in control of it in variable wind). Just another option there. Oh, I just looked at the site, they have different patterns now than the one I bought, and a choice of colors. That's neat.
