Looking for a foil kite (7m-10m)

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum, so if someone has posted that before or anything similar, my apology in advance :-P
I'm looking for a foil kite (not LEI) to do mainly mountboarding and possibly buggy in the future. It HAVE to have a good de-power feature, I'm from Chicago and gusts here are ridiculous.
I'm on a budget, and not that high, but I'm ready to buy one NOW !
If you got anything, feel free to U2U me.
Thanks

I've been doing kitesurfing for about a year and a half, landboarding throughout last summer season. All in all, I'd say I'm a about level 2-3.
I would say I'm not a hard core surfer nor big kahuna that chasing the waves :lol: , but when weekend comes, the wife have the kids and the wind is on.....I'm at the park !

I had Cabrinha kite 14m and a 9m LF Assault (which I sold). At current time I have my 4.1 PL Twister II which I love, but there is so much you can do with it, when the gusty winds kick.....

Hope it help.

Well there are two on the for sale forum right now, one is a Montana 3 7M the other the Apex 7.5m

Both nice kites!

Good luck!

Already U2U to Montana 3, I'm just trying to get some more info about it, since I've never actually saw it in action nor knew somebody who own it....

you get my email re: Montana with photos?

I did, thanks. Waiting to get my funds and I'll contact you again. Looks like the kite I'm looking for
.....unless I'll find a FlySurfer, which I'll be able to use on the water too :-)

Not to torpedo my own sale, but there's a FS Pulse 2 for $600 listed, looks like some quick interest so not sure it's still available, but may be worth a look....

:smug: ........low funds, remember.......... I'm kinda hope for a cheap miracle :lol:
