PL 10m Synergy Sold & Shipped Across the pond

Well, with much negotiating with the wife on buying the 9m frenzy, I got my wish. Sadly that wish came at a price and probably one that I'll regret. I've got a 10m synergy up for sale. Kite comes ready and eager to fly. I've some great sessions with it, but need to move on for now.

This Synergy is in excellent condition, with one professional repair performed by powerzone. The repair has not hurt the performance one bit. One of the inflate zippers has a bit of wear look to it but works perfectly otherwise, the other inflate and deflate are perfect. Bar is converted to front line safety, so you'll need a leash for it. Both it and the lines are in pristine condition.
The aluminum folding sticks are in great working order, except a couple of the rubber nubs on the ends need replacement.

The backpack is also in great condition. I'd hate to let this leave my hands, but I'm changing up to a strictly open cell foil for land and Inflatables for on the water. The speed 2 will be replaced next spring when I can buy a 12/13m open cell foil.

I'm asking $350CAD for it as a complete package that will take you in to the high winds for all types of kiting. Buyer pays shipping. (my scorpion was like $40 or something to ship last week) It will be packaged up waiting and ready to ship as soon as I get payment.

Here is a video I put together with my Gopro. The idea is to show just how good of condition this kite is in. Unfortunately the sound and video are really horrible shooting indoors under artificial lighting. I mentioned parts for switching back to rear flagout....not all the parts are there, you will need to find the rest of them. I inspected the kite some more and only the one zipper has the sign of wear. The colors are in fact really vibrant something else the video doesn't show.

16m scorpion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scorpion has sold, the buyer asked to remain anonymous cause their spouse is always on the lookout if they are buying another kite to add to the quiver.... ...I think we all can relate to that one, so I can sympathize with that request.

Lmao.. thats it, im never getting married!
I think i may know someone that might have interest in that Synergy. I'll try and send him your way!

....and I'm apparently confident she doesn't watch here anymore

I hope that my wife isn't secretly spying on me seeing what I plan on buying next:evil:......maybe that's why our dishwasher and stove magically broke down all in the same week:o

My wife is totally awesome.... She doesnt fly.... Yet.... but loves to watch and help launch and assist me and my boys with the,gear...... Actually I think she is there to keep her finger on the 911 speed dial button just in case....

Hey there!

Sent a U2U,

It has finally arrived, :wee:

Thank you very much for the way you took care of everything.








Now, all I need is some good winds, :D


Kind regards
João


P.S.: Loved the way you tucked the wing in the pillow sheet,
Need it back?!? :saint:

Ok, so finally Northern winds kicked in and was able to get it flying.
What can I say other than, I LOVE MY ARCS, :wee:

But let's start from the beginning:

The wind wasn't the best that usually roams in this beach, since it was around 5-8 and gusting really high (20+) but what the hell, I wanted to fly the damn thing. Wind range for my weight is 10-25.
As soon as I laid the wing on the sand, it started rotating all over the place while it was filling making me think that maybe I was going to get some rotors (which happen a lot here).
Prepared the lines and bar and the wing finally inflated.
Folded the wing because I had to taco launch since I was alone.
As I hooked in, a high gust came and throw the wing to the middle of the powerzone. I walked back to pull the kite and it simply clamshelled on me.
Released the bar, pulled it in, released again and there it goes to the edge of the window,
Definitely, easier to launch (even with the quircks) than the Scorpion.

Started working the kite but had to run a few times to keep the lines tensioned when the wind died. For a few occasions, had to shift position 'cause the wind shifted also but managed to fly it with ease.

The only real stress that I felt was sometimes the wing was almost bowtie on me. Maybe do to have the straps near loose position.
What's the best approach when gusting? Half loose/tight, more loose or more tight?

The Sun was setting and it was time to pack and that was when another huge gust came and I finally pulled a not so small but really well controlled jump.
What the heck??? The Scorpion isn't as forgiving as this baby!!!!
It really made me want more but it's gonna have to wait for the mid Spring/Summer winds,

All in all, in just one hour, a really good time spent.

And a really beautifull wing in the air, :wee:

Reminder of a BIG THANK YOU!!!

Well, the last few days have been the best ever till now, so a HUGE THANK YOU is in order (although digging a really old topic, sorry).

The "nortada" as is called and well known in Guincho (Northern Middle/High wind coming down from Sintra Mountain), came a little sooner due to the drought we're facing making really great weather here.

So, the Synergy has been my main motor on the beach mainly because I'm still a little scared of taking the Scorp in winds above 15Mph. (just building mental muscle and also waiting for G00fba11's Scorp 13m to arrive, :D )

Well, the Synergy is beautiful to see and ride. It's fast but really controlable and gust munching.
Also after a few sessions, I found out that I feel more at ease with 45cm bar and 20m lines, at least in the winds I've been having.

This said, shaggs2riches, here goes a HUGE HUG from across the pond for the kite. It's wünderbar, :D
