Quiver refinement,... Salad anyone?

soliver - 26-7-2012 at 08:29 PM

Ever since I sat down in the buggy seat, I have felt the need to refine the quiver or readjust to make things more buggy friendly.

It started out with the 5.1m PL Core which I got in a trade from Cheezy...



It is an awesome kite, and I must say I fell in love with the Core, but I had also heard so much good about the Viper S.

I wanted to get more Cores, maybe a 3m and a 4m to round out the quiver. I had a 3m Beamer for higher wind, but I had used it on a trip to Jekyll Island, and felt like I REALLY had to work it too hard going upwind. So I vacillated for a long while, and decided to sell the Beamer (with a little help from you all in a previous post) and get something else in the 3m size. I priced it well and it sold FAST. Subsequently, I found a GREAT deal and ordered one of these:



A 2.6m PL Viper S,... it's in the mail and I should get him Monday I think.

But wait, before that, I ordered another Core, a 4m, (with the help of Big Mike) which I will bring home soon, when I can pay for him. Like so:



Ironically, I asked for a different color scheme, but since the Core has gone out of production, this was all that was left in the 4m size. So more green then.

So I have wound up with a quiver of discontinued GREEN kites. So... salad anyone???

Good thing I like green. :lol:

I think the green is the best of all the Core colors:yes:

They look great and will be nice kites for you in the buggy. In thinking back, I don't think I've ever had a kite with green until I got my 9m Phantom II. It contrasts well with black and white as well, so you'd think it would be used more.

Hey Spence that 4m looks awesome. Now you can be on Team Green with Bobalooie57.... :singing: Sorry it didn't work out for my 3m. Guess I should update my sig... :dunno:

Now you have to get a brown kite so you can have the "Beef n Broccoli"... :smilegrin:

LOVE the colors on that 4m Core!! Same color scheme on my 5.5 RII. Looks great in the sky :thumbup:

MOUGL! WHERE YOU BEEN MAN!!!!

yeah, I can't wait to get that 4m Core, Big Mike is holding it for me, I should get it a really soon.

I just got the Viper S today, and am SOOOOOOPER thrilled with it. I'm sure it will be a bit 'till I get wind enough to take it out, but BOY OH am I excited to do it.
