Anyone have a used Sting that needs a new home?

BBREX has one, but it has handles...

I have a flexi 2-line bar that I could sell you for the sting. I just got a 1.2 sting from bb but I have plenty of bars lying around.

I flew the sting on a bar and handles this weekend and the kite feels very floppy on the bar; I actually prefer the sting on handles. Any perticular reason you're looking to fly it on a bar, or just preference?

judging by the photo and gear list of his, I'd say they want a bar because that is what they are used to, their preference for flying.

My 2.4 sting on a bar is my main kite I fly for those quick lunchtime skateboard sessions just about everytime the wind is right. That kite is so stable in the gusty winds here. I just needed to get some range between that kite and my 4.5m Profoil. I agree the handles are great when it comes to the ultimate control but I love the one-handed bar riding soooo much. I would never think about using a bar with my profoil but that sting works out great.

arkay - I appreciate the offer but I think an old c-kite bar I have laying around will work out perfect when I get bbrex's Sting.

Man I love having PKF as a resource. You guys are great!
