Review on Slingshot Kiteboarding B2 Trainer Kite by Randolph Iglesias

I've been teaching kiteboarding since 2003, completekiteboarding.com. (This brand is actually a competitor). B2 is the kite on which my students learn the basics. This is my "old trusty" and "reliable" kite. They are stable, fly better than most kites in our gusty winds and withstand heavy loads. I shorten the lines to 10m to take up less space on the beach and limit the height the kite can fall from. I prefer the 2m size because in 20mph winds the B2 moves fast enough to impair students' hand-eye coordination and pulls them just enough to feel the force, but not as hard, that she knocks them off their feet.
