Looking for a trainer kite - FOUND

I'm looking for a used trainer kite for my friend
Something like NTK Ballistic, HQ Rush or better
Ozone Uno would be supercool

The bar is not a must but highly desirable

U2U please.

Not 20 or 40 dollars, but dirt cheap!

I have a perfect trainer for your friend to get into the sport. It's a Flysurfer Rookie2 6m. Since it's almost a decade old, I only want $700 for it. (funny how you sell at such crazy high prices but don't ever want to spend much when you're buying...)

At that price range; you might consider one of these:

Just imagine those modded to 4 line at that price!

Oddly, the video at the bottom of the product page for the DP Squirt is actually a video for the Ozone Imp product line.

OzoneKitesUSA did do a video for the Squirt (although I would swear that was Jeff Howard of Kiteboarding.com in the video)



One item to note on the webpage:
"*Note: These kites come with lines attached to handles. If you are getting the kite as a trainer for kiteboarding, it is super easy to tie the lines on any bar. Even chop down the handle of a broom, dowel rod, or just about whatever else you can come up with."

The handles are the type that were popular on older style and some current budget dual line stunt kites. Easier to see in the video above.

ATB,
Sam

Any depower kite you find, like http://www.powerkiteforum.com/viewthread.php?tid=23641#pid23... starts at $200 - I have no illusions nor hopes for finding any of them significantly south of that price
The 2m dual line new on a bar is about a hundred http://www.awindofchange.com/product/cross-boarder.html

anyways....if you got one for sale please U2U
