Seemed to be a bit quirky and more than a little willing to bite if not properly inflated.
The seller doesn't seem to be able to provide too many details. Looks like the lines are currently wound up on two Shanti Crazy 8 winders or similar.
Make sure that is not what the seller is referring to as "handles" (unless that doesn't matter to you).
Not a foil, but there's at least one bumble bee kite in my bag.

I have been watching that one as well.
I was not able to read anything good on it.
I love the little pieces of thread that they give you with it!
I am not trying to downplay b/c I want it. I'd buy it for $10 but probably not worth more than $80 (everything is worth $80 on a lark!).BEC - 6-1-2013 at 08:51 PM

I will not be bidding against you...Just thought it had that "Old
School" look to it. Just a fun looking kite to blast down the beach for a couple laughs.kiteboyza - 7-1-2013 at 07:41 AM
super lifty, there was a bar for it, nightmare to deflate and pack...not for a beginner or nervouszero gee - 7-1-2013 at 04:53 PM
Ya lifty, the PL waterfoil was known to spank even the most experienced of kite flyers.
The "water" foils back then were not depower kites. They were fixed bridle kites with closed leading edges and oneway vents. Flown mostly on bars
(sometimes on handles). Guys around here flew them with bars like these (or some homemade abomination)...
