I am new to this site. I live in Edmonton, Canada where there are not many kiters - so thought I would try this forum, which appears to have some Flysurfer fans. So I though I would see if anyone is interested in picking up some Psycho IV kites that I need to sell so that I can buy a 21m Speed 3.

8m - great condition - did not use this kite much - used mainly snow kiting - $1,000 OBO

12m - great condition - my main kite - used it more than my 8m - used equally on snow and water - $800 OBO - SOLD

15m - like new condition - used it once snow kiting - still crinkly new feel - $1,400 OBO

I will post some pictures shortly.

I assume these are all RTF? Which bar / safety system do they have?

Also, how do you love that 15m Speed3? I was thinking about getting one some day myself.

Last -- This forum loves pics, if you can swing it :)

I'll vouch for larboy! He's one of the quite active locals. Anyone wants me to look over the gear just say the word. We have a local FS distributor here which these kites likely came from so it's direct from the source as it were.

Indeed, the kites are ready to fly - and they all have the 5th line safety system (FDS).

As for how I like the 15m Speed 3, the 15m Speed 3 is what I fly the most and I love the kite. I started with a 15m Speed 2 - but really had a lot of trouble with it overflying, bowtying and then having to float in the water for long periods of time because the kite could not relaunch. I have never had the Speed 3 do that to me. It's an incredible kite that does not bowtie, relaunches very easily in the water - even easier than my inflatables (Naish Ride Kites). I have been to Hatteras and Cuba (Sol Cayo Guillermo) to kite and I am surprised there are not more Speed 3 kites in use, particularly when I have many times ended up being the only one still kiting after the winds have died down. Lastly, I think the best combination for beginners should be a 15m Speed 3 with a large Flydoor board (in lighter winds of course). I wish I could have had that combination when I started - would have been much easier.

However, the 21m Speed 3 is truly the ultimate light wind kite which I have flown a bit, and even for its significant size - the 21m also relaunches very easily in the water.

Will you consider posting the 15mt to Australia? Probably too expensive.

larboy - 27-10-2013 at 02:00 PM

I sold the 12m to someone in Finland - so I would be willing to send to Australia. I will check out the cost to ship.

U2U sent.
