PL VORTEX 12m SOLD

flyguy0101 - 25-1-2013 at 10:53 AM

I sold this kite to BEC last year and he never flew it- ups lost my bar when i went to see him last week so i bought the kite and bar back now am selling it kite only (may have a bar in a while once i settle with UPS)- It is in good condition has two small pin holes in the leading edge that were there when i bought it and are fine they do have little peices of sail tape covering them. This was my first arc and the one Flyjump (adam) taught me to jump on. It is the most stable of all the arc i have flown and has a strong tendency to move back to zenith so perfect for a first depower and getting moving on a board of any kind. Asking $250 or best reasonable offer and will include shipping in the lower 48. I will try to find some pics but kite is currently in NY at BECs and so if sells quick will be shipping from there.
thanks
scott

Power on Vortex 12m would compare to 8-9m LEI, right?

Sadly my quiver already overflows with wings in this size.....great deal, great seller!

It is the green, white and yellow color scheme. I will ship it out immediately for Scott.

U2Us replied to- This was the kite i learned to atb on and the first depower that really clicked for me. As for upwind yes it will go upwind but it is not near as aggressive of an upwind beast as a phantom or a race kite. It was orginally designed/sold as a school kite the same yr the venom II was released, as a result it never really got much attention. Overall it is a great first depower kite with strong auto zenith, super stable and very predictable and if you want to see it in action when i learned to jump- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=winOVTU3Ua0 - this was the fourth or fifth time i had ever flown an arc or ridden a board

As for winds- will fly and get me moving in about 9-10 and have flown it in 25+ winds- i am about 240 lbs and really like it in the 15-30 mph range

Box "O" kites got packed up today and are sitting on the commercial loading dock as I type this. Should be heading out tomorrow and seen at your place within 3 days...( I would think).

Glad it worked out for everyone...Maybe someday you'll get me to switch over to a depower but for now...I LOVE TO BUGGY WITH FB'S!
