thanson2001ok - 1-3-2012 at 09:13 PM

Gotta love the friendly banter among dealers. I needed a laugh. Still at work.:barf:

shehatesmyhobbies - 2-3-2012 at 04:39 AM

Yes the banter is great, wish I had been awake to join in. Its all in good fun.

Goof I figure you would have camped out at end of the production line to pick yours up.

Dino I knew you were ribbn. No worries here.

Drew, it was buy one get a six pack of tacos and a dew free.

g00fba11 - 2-3-2012 at 06:08 AM

Rich, If I had enough Delta frequent flyer miles to get me to the production facility I would have been there.....:lol: but alas Frontier doesn't fly there.......

rocfighter - 2-3-2012 at 02:46 PM

Hey Chris you buy the first one and I'll get the $1.00 one!!

ripsessionkites - 3-3-2012 at 02:36 AM

All PL shops are taking Pre-Orders ... For the record.

They will be selling fast as I know the Euro market is buying in volumes and with the season buys too.

If you want one order it now from one of our fine dealers.

BigMikesKites - 3-3-2012 at 09:49 AM

yes, order them now. Keep them away from the European bunch.

soliver - 3-3-2012 at 11:49 AM

Please help satiate the curiosity of a newb (being unfamiliar with the phantom and depower in general)...

What about the original phantom makes it so awesome that everyone is uber exited over the phantom 2?

Just generally curious.

shehatesmyhobbies - 3-3-2012 at 12:15 PM

Well, for me the original Phantom is a gust muncher, it also has a decent wind range in each size, it delivers predictable power making for a smoother ride. (I fly my 18m starting around 8 mph winds and keep it in the air till around 15mph winds, could probably get more out of it, but then I am reaching for my 15m just in case the wind builds) I do not use them on the water myself, I buggy with them. On the beach with a smooth wind, it's park and ride time! get it where you want it and it will stay there till you ask it to do something else. Makes for longer sessions no doubt. Oh and not to mention, they look sick! They just work for me! I now only have Phantoms in my quiver.

I am looking forward to the Phantom 2 mainly because the original is so good for my uses, that the new one has to be even better! The Phantoms have gotten a cult like following, I love my Phantoms, I can't wait to try the new one!

flyjump - 3-3-2012 at 12:18 PM

Solid power, insane lift, and cool graphic

geokite - 3-3-2012 at 07:53 PM

The 6m phantom is the best high wind kite for the lakebed I've flown. Hope the phantom2 comes in a 6m size, and hope it turns large for it's size...no one is doing kiteloops out there...

shehatesmyhobbies - 3-3-2012 at 08:30 PM

Yes Geo, the new Phantom is going to be available in 6,9,12,15,18,and 24m sizes!

ripsessionkites - 3-3-2012 at 10:44 PM

I'm surprised no dealer has the information up on their websites???

BeamerBob - 4-3-2012 at 12:18 AM

Forthcoming on Coastal Wind Sports. The IT department has been double booked since the release. I know a preorder is going out from CWS soon.

shehatesmyhobbies - 9-3-2012 at 03:38 PM

Still taking inquiries on the Phantom 2. We need to place the order before the 12th to get the deal. U2U me for more info!

I couldn't help myself and ordered 3 PIIs all in Forest/Black. The only think that could've kept me from that was for them to offer the black/orange in the smaller sizes, then I would've mixed it up a bit.

revpaul - 9-3-2012 at 05:13 PM

that is such a wicked awesome looking kite i might just get one for kick and gggles and get my buggy back.
the green is 'like totally rad' but the blue/whit/balck is nice looking too.
wow.
Paul
edit-woops didn't see the orange and black until i scrolled all the way down.
wow very nice looking kite and rigging too.

For me the 18m Phantom is the earliest flying Arc I have found that is tame enough I can handle it. From what I have seen the opposite end , 6m is an amazing speed kite.

I also am very fond of the graphics so fly it at local kite events.

flyjump - 10-3-2012 at 08:33 AM

My green 18m should be getting shipped on tuesday, I also think im gonna pick up the 24m for this summer. Talj about hangtime!

lad - 10-3-2012 at 11:17 AM

I hope to see that 18m PII at JI later this month (if I can make it)...and anyone else who has a 24m is welcome to bring it too! :D

seems like all the boarders have gone 15 / 24

the buggies are buying 6, 9, 15

:wee:

markite - 10-3-2012 at 12:55 PM

Wow, all the pre-orders I've been taking have all expressed interest in the black green combo. At this rate, only going to see only black & green Phantom2s flying in Ontario other than the orange/black 24s.

lad - 10-3-2012 at 01:14 PM

I really, really, REALLY think PL should have first also ran a color-scheme / design contest as well as a naming one.

Or at least had a design test-market/focus group with the general users.
(Hey, if they sent me one as an official field tester instead, I wouldn't care if was pink polka dots!)

The basic black w/ green/orange REALLY keeps more to the Spirit (no pun intended) of the Phantom 1.
and distinguishes it from the recent (and frankly -BLAH-) arc designs.

And you know what they say...Black is slimming (even for those already anorexic ARs) :rolleyes:

flyjump - 10-3-2012 at 01:24 PM

Im also not a fan of the other colors, I really like the green and the orange colors. The red should be all black as well instead of the grey. Oh well. I just hope they fly awesome and take take me to the moon
