Although these can be repaired with a patch kit, it's not worth getting a good kite full of holes and patches while learning to fly it. Get a kite that you think you would feel comfortable with, and one that is suitable for the wind conditions in your area. Most kites make a very loud noise. If your kite is too fast, then add a tail to it. Adding one will slow it down, making it easier to fly.
Tails work with any kite and inflate with the wind to look great in the sky.
A kite without a center spine makes it durable and crash resistant because there is no danger of the sail tearing or breaking in a hard crash. Multiple kite packs pull harder than singles, but are just as easy to fly. Don't forget the thrill factor when you select your sport kite - small kites can fly well, but can't change the laws of physics. Big kites pull harder, make more noise and are more exciting to fly.
