Slingshot B2 Trainer Kite Info


The Slingshot B2 Trainer Kite is an excellent kite to learn with and is also great for children and smaller adults under 130 lbs. It comes complete with the control bar, flying lines and bag. The Slingshot Trainer Kites have a proven reputation as the best trainer kites ever produced and they are easy to fly. These kites are durable, forgiving and provide a background in basic flying skills.

Most people that learn kiteboarding have little experience with kites. Many come from a background of similar sports like: water skiing, surfing, skimboarding, bodyboarding, wakeboarding, and snowboarding. Even though these sports are related, kiteboarding is significantly different and requires instruction. Here at Jupiterkiteboarding we recommend that you start with the basics of kite flying and always follow the safe kiteboarding guidelines.

 

 

Jupiter Kiteboarding believes strongly in the use of trainer kites. These are smaller kites which you can purchase and fly before taking a lesson. Although trainer kites comes in several sizes, they are much smaller on average than the inflatable kites that are used on the water for kiteboarding. These kites come with an instructional CD and are designed for people who have never flown a power kite before.

 

The main skill to master with the trainer kite is steering while maintaining correct body posture. Once the trainer kite has been mastered we recommend taking a lesson with one of our IKO or PASA certified instructors. On average 3–9 hours of instruction is required to get up and going on a board.

The first step in learning to kiteboard is becoming familiar with how a kite flies. Here is how you can learn from the safety of the beach with the Slingshot B2 Trainer Kite.

Very fun kite, anyone who wants to fly it will enjoy it. Even though it is a small kite it produces a lot of power when you fly it dead downwind, so be careful when you give it to the kids. My 3 year old loves this kite, he flys it by himself.

The Slingshot B-3 trainer provided me a great introduction to what kiters call the wind window, power zone and nuetral zone. It was perfect for learning how to steer using the control bar. I found it a little difficult to control at first, but after some time I was able to fly it like a pro! I actually learned the most in the lighter winds. The kite was also able to handle some serious crashes with no problem. This is a must have if you are going to become a kiteboarder. Definitely don't skip the trainer kite, you will regret it. This is a great tool for learning the basics. It also give you a good idea of where you can and can't kitesurf. I reccomend flying in some different places to get familiar with the wind.
