Hi guys.
Can anyone say anything about a Flysurfer Cool 9m ? 5-6 years old. Maybe I have one on my hands, but I don't want to spend my money on something not
worth them.
thx. Fizeman.

Not a lot of Depower. Complicated bridle.
Flysurfer got much MUCH better in the following years. I wouldn't pay too much .

Cool is like 8 years old If I recall correctly. Not a bad kite! Wholeheartedly agree that FlySurfer got better in later years. I have the rookie2,
the evolved version of the "Cool" and it's a twitchy kite that doesn't have much depower.
I wouldn't pay more than a few hundred.

Hi again.
I Got the flysurfer cool 9m for 189 bucks. Including a New eolo harness.
Lokking forward to try it.

Not a bad way to get your quiver grown. You'll wish pretty quickly that it acted more like the Apex3 you have! The price was certainly right!

At $189 complete + harness you got a good deal. I would have expected him to ask $250 and take $200.
Don't judge Flysurfer strictly on this kite. It will be well made but newer kites fly that much better. The safety is much improved as well.

Is there anything John could do to it to make it a little better...?

I doubt it, my rookie2 is a "depower" kite that flies like a FB on a bar, it's kind of #@%$#!! Even a dozen hours #@%$#!ing around with it couldn't
correct it.
Heck, if anyone says they can fix it, I'll pay shipping both ways.
I feel I have gotten my money's worth on the purchase, but I was thinking I was buying a sporty little car and ended up with a supercharged sportbike!
