Well, I've got 2 really great kites for sale and it kills me to do it but with a new baby I hit the water once this year and I just can't see next
year being much better so I figured I'd let someone else get some use out of them.
The Speed 2 has a couple of repairs. One was done by Powerzone, and another I'm not sure who did it as I bought the kite used from FredBBG over on
kiteforum/foilzone. Powerzone's work is well known and trusted here, and when he had the kite he told me the other repair was solid. I did a mixer
test on it late last year but still have yet to test fly it...it rained forever, got cold, then I had a baby, and now I've got a broken leg so it's
just not going to get a test flight until the new owner takes delivery. The lines are about 80%. It's got the FLS safety. Also, the bar has a
spiral shaped cut through the foam...a line got wrapped around the bar and then the kite powered up. That wasn't a fun day. LOL. The kite has been
used plenty but it's still got tons of life left in it. The ring tip lines have been modified with pig tails so when they shrink all you have to do
is adjust it rather than swap out with new.
As for the Synergy...it was Tridude's son's kite. It's got a repair that his son made. It's a solid repair. It's got a Best bar with Q lines. I
only flew this kite once and really liked it but having spent all my time on Flysurfers I'm not sure I'd ever really get comfortable with the bar
pressure. I will say this though, I always knew exactly where the kite was. As with the Flysurfer, tons of life left in this kite.
Like I said earlier, my leg is broken so getting pictures is a little more than I'm up for right now. I've represented these as accurately as I can.
If you purchase it, get it home, and feel like I was inaccurate in some way I'll take the kite back and pay for the shipping.BeamerBob - 12-11-2010 at 10:40 PM
I love my Synergys. Lots of grunt and HOOJ wind range. I flew my 15m in 25 mph winds on water and only felt well powered never overpowered. I could
take that kite up to 30+ mph winds (on water) I'm sure. I used to read slackjawed at Action Jackson and Phreerider talking about the winds they flew
big arcs in but now I understand. The kites can take it and you can too.
Good for mid to upper teens in the buggy. Not sure of what winds I had but thought they were 12-15 in the buggy in Nags head NC. I went faster each
run topping out at 38+ mph. It wasnt' much slower going back upwind either with the bar all the way out.
I wish I could get another Synergy or two, especially a 19m. Maybe this one's for you.kitedelight - 13-11-2010 at 09:16 PM
just wondering about the fabric on the speed2 15, is it SA or standard?clintopher - 14-11-2010 at 08:03 AM
Fabric is standard.Seanny - 14-11-2010 at 07:28 PM
:shocked2: GAH!
Syn 15 for $500??
So...tempting...
What's the bar like? I've never flown on a Best bar. How big is it? Do you have details?
Take my wallet and run with it please. And hide it from me.InvertedForce - 14-11-2010 at 09:18 PM

I've got a 19m Synergy if you're interested... I don't fly it enough, it sits sadly in my closet collecting dust...clintopher - 15-11-2010 at 07:19 PM

This is the only Best bar I've used too and Tridude modified it so I'm not sure what it was like originially, but now it's got the depower rigged so
it's actuated through a clam cleat over the bar. Also, he rigged it so you could hook the leash up to any line. I don't remember how long the bar
is...45 or 50 cm I'm thinking but I can't swear to it. Whatever it is, it flies the kite very well...plenty of input to the kite but not too much.tridude - 15-11-2010 at 07:41 PM
55cm carbon composite bar, 27m Q powerlines, leader floats, above the bar clam cleat depower system and you can leash to the front or rear
lines.........it was a sweet bar and rigged for ARCs....................I first used it on a V19/13, then the 15m Synergy.....................clintopher - 15-11-2010 at 08:11 PM
Thanks Tridude.Seanny - 16-11-2010 at 09:23 PM
Wow, sounds great. I would really like to take this off of your hands for you. The price is very reasonable. I just have to scratch up some extra
cash.
Do you have pictures of the kite/bar?
Thanks,
SeannySeanny - 17-11-2010 at 08:38 AM
Sorry to hear about your leg!
I must have missed that tidbit.
If you don't have pictures, that's perfectly fine. I trust your judgement. Could you tell me the colors? Not that it matters too much, I'm just
curious. :wee:
Thanks!

Thanks
MikeAlbatross Mark - 20-11-2010 at 03:22 AM
GGGrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Ruff Ruff!! I want it!I HAVE the money but sounds like i am standing in line on another offer. Albatross Markmikey - 20-11-2010 at 04:38 AM
Mark,
Haven't you got a Ch15 on order?Albatross Mark - 20-11-2010 at 10:37 AM
I have wanted a 15 m PL since i lost a new 15 m Charger to a wave last February. couldnt locate anything used and ordered a new 15m Charger,Now that
is stalled as there are no 15m Chargers in Europe and have toi wait for China to build one...I am repairing bladders on my 12m Tube and Fu$%@ing
Hating them and when i get a 15m PL gonna have a Bonfire with all my tube sh*& !!aircav1182 - 20-11-2010 at 11:49 AM
Mark - I'm thinking of getting a Charger in the near future. I know your loss must be upsetting...if you don't mind (I'm kinda new to this)....How did
a wave take it away? Did you have to abandoned the kite for safety reasons? If there's any consolation, I lost a HQ Rush 2.5 to a Light pole at the
local high school. Fire department would not get it down because.."This is not an emergency" as they said. I went to try and recover it the next day
and it was gone...Albatross Mark - 20-11-2010 at 12:41 PM
I was an eager but dumb beginner,I made four mistakes that cost my kite: 1,light winds 2. in surf 3. expensive kite 4.Not ejecting as i thot it was
a small wave bar and i were in deep water and kite fell in shallows with small waves.I saw wave coming but thot that was a small wave thinking
no need to ejec.t WRONG !!!Waves are powerful and when you are out side with "pocket of kite" facing wave is alot of force. I was jinxed as my tube
friend lost his tube the week before similarly but more powered up and couldnt eject in time i said "I bet PL would have survived"NO kite will survive
unless Made of Kevlar Canvass and then it would yank you to beach if the lines held. Saqa of the 15mPL The kite most needed in my quiver and it
doesnt wanna come back to me. I will celebrate when i get one again! Albatross Markclintopher - 20-11-2010 at 04:50 PM

Mike,
Seanny has first dibs, then Albatross Mark. If they both fall through, you're the third person who's expressed interest.

Woop! :bouncy:Albatross Mark - 22-11-2010 at 11:44 AM
I got 15m Synergy coming from Florida.You have a chance for ClintOphers 15m Synergy now Mikey,Albatross MarkSeanny - 22-11-2010 at 03:40 PM
Gratz Mark!
If only I could get the dude whose buying my non-kite related stuff I posted on Craigslist to email me back...
But, not to worry. I got a new offer today after I reposted it. I should have the money within the next few days if everything goes smoothly. Which I
really hope it does, because I'm DYING to get this kite...
Cheers,
SeannyBeamerBob - 22-11-2010 at 05:06 PM
They are great kites. Great enough that I couldn't put mine on the table for this feeding frenzy. I wouldn't mind trying a 15m charger just to see
if the end result still matches me as well as my 15m synergy does.Albatross Mark - 23-11-2010 at 10:55 AM
Yeah i believe i built my quiver least expensive and logical way:You want your biggest kite the fastest turner and your smaller kites more tame:
Vortex8,Vortex10,Venom2-13m,Synergy15,Charger19, Now i would like to get the right FS for light winds of 8-14mph.It sounds like a good time to
shop for FS as several models are gonna update and everyone selling their old ones to be able to afford the dream kites.It sounds like LIGHT wind is
Speed 3 19m.But i dont think it will turn for riding waves?But Ted Bautista rides strapless surfboards on 19m Sp3 in surf and works!But then i hear
good about the Psycho4 15m,And then i read FS Model Review and seems like they made the Pulse2 14m Exactly for Kitesurfing waves in the Ocean on
surfboards???I havent seen a Pulse 2 for sale? it may be that few people tried or They LOVE them and can not part?? My friend Gianni said to stay
away from FS for another year as they are too good and i wont wanna ride PL,FS are dangerously addicting like CRACK!Albatross Markacartier1981 - 24-11-2010 at 06:35 PM
I can say my Pulse 2 8m is amazing, ridiculous depower and gust proof. After flying a Pulse for several months I found it hard to believe that the
Pulse 2 could have more depower and soak up gusts better, but it does so amazingly.clintopher - 30-11-2010 at 05:33 PM
The deal with Seanny fell through so the Synergy is still for sale.
Price on Speed reduced to $700.Albatross Mark - 30-11-2010 at 09:57 PM
Oh thanks for checking ,I already found,bought and been flying my new used 15m Synergy even ripped it nearly in half and i sewed it up and flies
fine!Turns as fast as i wanted! Even bought A Psycho 4 19m and flew it yesterday and like it!Got My quiver just as i wanted
8mVortex,10mVortex,Venom2-13m,Synergy 15m,Charger 19m, and fianally a low wind P4-19m. Gotta sell 18m Guerilla,12m WindWing,12m DNA Air Rush,7
mWarrior FS, Albatross MarkSeanny - 3-12-2010 at 07:05 PM
Sweet, Mark!
Yeah, my parents made me cancel this deal the day before I was to buy it. For a completely BS reason, too. I'm still fuming about it. They hate my
kiting thing, and think it negatively affects me socially and limits personal development... just by reading that, I know you'd think it's stupid
aswell. It's a very long story. But, oh well. Not a lot I can do about it for the moment. I can only hope such a great offer comes around sometime
again.
Come on people, these kites need a new home! GREAT offers here! PL Synergies are awfully hard to come by... everybody who has one wants to hold onto
it!
Cheers,
SeannyAlbatross Mark - 4-12-2010 at 01:17 AM
I am glad i got a Synergy 15m. It flew just super today. Really glad i only got the Charger in my biggest size of 19m. BUT it is screwing up, First
thing to do is pull out the aluminum Spars and Put fiberglass in. I bent those long things up and kite wont fly right. also after baming on water she
wouldnt fly right( zippers opened) Something else wrong??dont know problem BUT people say Charger pushed the envelope of what this style of foil
can do and they are very sensitive to problems other models dont show....Glad to have the Synergy...not sure now about Charger but hopefully find
problem as it turns good for 19m. Too bad about your folks Seanny, A Markclintopher - 14-12-2010 at 04:19 AM
