My girlfriend has been flying a trainer for a few months now and also has some time flying my 9m. I'm looking to get her a solid beginner kite. She is around 130-135, so I was thinking a 10m. My 9m has a tendency to backstall, so I would like something nice and solid that won't give her any surprises. Let me know what you guys have - would prefer to spend $500 or so, but am flexible.

I know you said 9m, but the

I know you said 9m, but the F-One bandit 3 8m has the low-end of all 9m's and is perfect for someone her weight. Please let me know if any questions.

2010 F-One Bandit III 8m Complete: Retail is $1499. wind range is huge (18 to 38 knots for 175 lb rider).

Price reduced to $899 for kite, bar, line and bag. Used 2 times. One minor pinhole in canopy, has been repaired. Otherwise, crinkly and new feeling.

Will do $699 for Kite only. Can be used with any 4 line bar with equal line lengths. (obviously will need proper attachments (male / female) at end of lines).
