3m quad-line for newcomer

Elsje - 17-4-2013 at 08:12 AM

Hi
So I've been told this is the place to come for help.

I'm looking for a 3m, quad line to get started on. I live in the UK, Coventry area and don't really want to spend more than £80, to begin with.

Is there anyone that can help a sister out?

That's going to be tight....

Currently...

There are some Ozone Flows (great kites) selling on KiteCrowd.

The thread is here:
http://forum.kitecrowd.com/sale/ozone-flows-full-set-cheap-2...
----------------------------------------------------------
2m - Good condition - £75
3m - Good condition - £85
3m - average - has had a "home repair" on trailing edge - flies well - £75

But that's KITES ONLY
Postage is £4.95 for kites only

Handles and 25m lines - £30 (when bought with kite)

Postage for kite with bar/handles is £10
----------------------------------------------------------

A little bit closer to your mark is a 2.5 PKD Century that's being sold here:
http://forum.kitecrowd.com/sale/kite-sale-209290.html

Description:
2.5 PKD Century: Well used but still flys great and pulls hard. bought this second hand, it had a few pin holes in the canopy when i got it but these do not affect its performance. Blue with gold soulfly. £70 kite only +p&p

Also have two handle and line sets that i would be willing to include with any of the kites for an extra £10 each

2 x 20m line sets, used
2 x handles, used

So that's meets your £80 if you don't mind paying for shipping and a little wear on the kite.

ATB,
Sam

Hey E,

I didn't realize you are in the UK . Folks on that forum that Indigo linked you to are a good bunch and more are in your area.

We are still here for you and some UK kites do come up here but the majority are moved on that other site.

Right. I'll keep my eyes open there then :)

I have a Prism Stylus 2.8 like new with 75 foot lines and handles you could have for that price.
Your shipping costs may be prohibitive, however. Not much weight, nor a large package, but I have no idea what it costs to get something to the UK from Florida.
It's a great flying kite, but at 2.8 meters, a bit smaller than the 3.0 you were seeking.
Oh, and you can fly it as a two line (never did that) or four line kite.
