SWM looking for fun & a Lynn Arc

lad - 2-8-2009 at 08:24 PM

You: a generous, adventurous sort, looking for new and exciting aerial experiences and exchanges.
Must drive a spare Vapor, Syn, etc.- recent vintage, decent cond.
A large, firm Phanny would be also nice.
Being able to make the bar scene and having a few good lines to throw at me is definitely a plus...and yes, size matters...
Getting it up AUTO-ZENITH style is a real TURN ON!


Me: Arc-Curious, and looking to fullfill my unspoken, if inflated, kite fantasies. Willing to sacrifice a Montana II 9.5 in pretty good cond., and/or a shiny, NIB 12m Slingshot Ranger...and also a little cash.

Let's meet thru U2U...and who knows, it may blossom into Paypal and United Parcel Service...


(Hey, It's bad enough we have to hide our kite purchases from SO's - imagine if we could only find new ones w/ ads like this! )
:smilegrin:

too bad, just sold my Syn 15 ... i have a fairly new Scorpion 16m if you want it?

That's some funny stuff there lad! Good luck in your hunt. I would love to grab that 9.5 off you. Could be out of reach right now though!

lad - 3-8-2009 at 10:05 AM

Glad at least some of you got (enjoyed?) the ad. I just now re-edited it a bit to be even more enticing! :yes:

The Montana would be pretty reasonable, if I decide to let it go. Judging from what I read, it'd take a 15m arc to compete with a 9.5 foil. Sorta.
I almost think that my 12m Ranger could step into the Montana's place with it's wider depower range.

What I'm hoping for in an arc is a stable kite for gusty, inland use as well as one I can try in the water - whenever I eventually decide to go there.

Nebraska is a long ways from the ocean. You have any lakes nearby?

I have all the MD/DE/NJ beaches nearby - but I will take my time getting into kitesurfing.

The other advantage I see is not worrying so much about dunking an arc while buggying in offshore winds.

I found a blue pill that makes auto zenith a sure thing. Kind of handy when you are out with the same old kite and it is not exactly blowing up a storm !

lad - 3-8-2009 at 10:45 AM

My low wind experiences are called "Viagravation."

What I'm really looking for is some sort of Botox to fill in all those big pores, lines and bags on those old open foils!

Keep up the viagra jokes, and we could go on for hours. :P

I love this ad hahaha Arc-Curious? thats great:spin:

I'm in the process of upgrading a Venom 16 to a VII so if you can wait and all goes according to plan there should be a 16m V1 in nice shape for sale in a few weeks. Definitely one to satiate any Arc-Curiosities you may have. U2U me if you might be keen and I'll give you first dibs. It'll be in the $300-350 range plus post, RTF.

I have a 19m Venom II i've been considering selling. Since you're local, you're welcome to check it out if interested.
