Does anyone own one? Or flown One? They carry an AR of 7, was it a freaking beast or what? Just looking up som arc stuff and found the listings for that guy... looks like a pretty mean kite!

I had a 12m Farc for my 1st twin skin. I was far too inexperienced and had all sorts of trouble with it.
YES, is is this crazy long ribbon. I bow tied it in all sorts of ways. It was awfull on water for me. The way it launched me a few times unexpectedly on water ( super fast ) it scared me off of using it on land.

Now that I have better control, I'm sorry I sold this kite ( for $100 ) It would be fun to fly now !

yeah i saw some pics and couldnt believe the AR! That thing was pretty crazy, just didnt know if it flew well, being a 2nd gen arc, or if it was a piece of coveted arc history

It flew VERY well. Very fast and lifty.

It was just a bit too much for me at the time. NOT a beginer kite. I'm sure I would enjoy it a lot more now. I would pay the same $100 to get it back.
