This is the older model with post bindings, ATS trucks and tri spoke hubs. Decent started board.

10m Slingshot TD - $150
Good condition 2006 Bow kite flown a few times on grass and snow. This was my first impulse kite purchase and I just find that I never use it.

M Cabrinha impact vest - $30
Never worn

Not kite related
Landyachtz Drop Wedge longboard - $120 (PENDING)
Ridden and few times before I took a big spill.

I will try and post pictures later this evening.
Reasonable offers are welcome.

Drop Wedge - Pending

is the atom still up for grabs?

Do you have any picture of the 10m Slingshot TD?

erratic winds - 22-5-2012 at 12:38 PM

skoden-even without pics it's a good deal. only two issues with the TurboDiesel 1st gen- long bar throw-(like 24"!)if you have short arms it can be an issue. 1st generation bridle is problematic, kite can actually turn itself inside out, be careful in very gusty conditions! Those two issues aside, it's a great wing and a KILLER price!

Hi, what model and year?
does it help with flotation?
Thanks.
Fred.

Rie - Yep, the Atom is still up for grabs.

Skoden - I'll see if I can put up a picture tonight. It is black and yellow.

xr4turb - I'll check the model and year (I think I bought it in 2008) tonight. I do know that it is not supposed to be used as a flotation device. Impact protection only.

matt204 - 29-5-2012 at 09:50 AM

still for sale? interested in the drop wedge and TD (Good beginner kite?) want pics thou...

WadoGal - 29-5-2012 at 10:17 AM

Hey all - sorry about the lack of pics it has been a crazy few weeks with family visiting and I haven't had a chance to get the kite rolled out to take a few shots.

The TD is still available, but the Drop Wedge is sold.

Matt - see Erratic Winds' post about the TD. It can have some issues with inverting in gusty conditions which can lead to frustrations, otherwise it is a pretty forgiving kite. No 5th line safety though.

matt204 - 1-6-2012 at 01:13 PM

you just have to pump the TD extra tight right? does it come complete with bar and lines?

erratic winds - 1-6-2012 at 01:46 PM

matt- there is no fix for the possibility of inversion in very gusty conditions, it can happen regardless of if the kite is 100% pumped or not. The issue lays with the bridle design,layout, and attachment points to the kite. This was the major change between the TurboDiesel and the TD2. That said, if you are aware of the issue and prepared to pop safety the instant it happens, you're good to go.

matt204 - 1-6-2012 at 02:12 PM

I knew it wouldn't totally keep it from inverting but heard it helped... and that it also helped the kite "correct" itself whenever it does invert itself
