Good condition.
No rips, holes or repairs.
Lines in great shape.
VERY light kite. Fabric is comparable to FS deluxe.
Freakish amount of pull but not a lot of lift.
Water re-launchable but used on snow.
Buyer pays shipping.

If you are a fan of high bar pressure then this is the kite for you !
It gets you going in amazing low wind for an 8m .

Hmmm, are you trying to be helpful with the bar pressure comment?
I don't find this kite to have any more bar pressure than my 2012 Airush Lithium, actually.
If you are comparing the bar pressure of this kite to a FS speed 3 then, I agree, but I don't think that is a fair comparison.
That being said, my interweb research suggested rumours that it was a Flysurfer designer who left FS and went to North that designed this kite.
Perhaps flying characteristics and bar pressure could be likened to an early flysurfer...a pulse perhaps? Anybody know anything beyond rumours? Not a
lot of info out there on the Husky.

Just informative, I'm sure BR wouldn't try to 'sandbag' your sale. Prolly just saw little interest and there's not a ton of reviews that I could
find. I prefer a medium to high bar pressure. So it's a preference some will like other's not so much.

Sorry if you felt I was saying something bad about your kite. It was not meant to come across that way.
I have had 2 friends with this kite and have used it a couple of times. The one who still owns his ( Coolbreeze ) had it as his 1st depower. Now he is
so used to bar pressure that he dislikes my My Pulse + Synergy . Liking bar pressure isn't a bad thing , just a preference that I think some folks go
for.
As I mentioned I was most impressed with this kites low end.

Having owned a 6m Husky (these are circa 2004) they have a load of pull with not a lot of lift... These kites are rock solid and actually launch very
well off water!
On the downside I did find the depower not as effective as newer kites of similar size...
Good luck with the sale these are beautiful kites

No assistance required for launching.
Wider range of use due to excellent depower properties.
Easy handling and harmonious flying characteristics (ideal for newcomers).
No aggressive buildup of pressure.
High foil stability.
Good performance for jumps.
Very good hangtime (gliding properties) particularly at light, dynamic thermal winds (close to slopes).

You aren't making this one easy to resist. Sent you a couple of questions in a U2U...

Somebody do me a favour!
The GF just bought more kites today and I am embarrassed at the excessive nature of our habit.
