Flexifoil punk....a long shot

BEC - 22-4-2014 at 03:59 PM

Thought I'd start the process now, just in case someone who will be at Wildwood this weekend may have one that they want to unload....I don't know the sizes they came in but somewhere between the 2.0 and 4.0 range would be nice.....let me know....

or any suggestions of kites that would be primarily pink in color..

Also have to figure out what kite. To the best of my knowledge, the Punk series included the Stings, Rages, and Flexifoil Stackers.

I got one of the last Stings (a 1.2 quad) to leave the UK.

The original search for Punks also marked my first phone conversation with Angus.

The only other pink kite that comes to mind are the small run of Ozone Access kites that were earmarked for kite schools.

Shaggs managed to grab one of these....

You other alternative is to look at kites that allow custom color selection. Most Ozone kites can be had in custom colors for a slight upcharge.

Thanks Sam....that Ozone color works....Is that a de-power only?

I will look into the custom color order process too....I'd like to get a jump start on the possible ride for cancer we are going to talk about for the fall bash....What better color to fly to support a great cause!

You could do a pink tail on any kite.

I'm thinking of a green kite with a pink tail:)

The Flexifoil Punk series was done as a short run with a small bit of the profits going to Cancer Research UK.

FWIW: 2014 marks the 50th anniversary of the Surgeon's General Report that linked smoking to lung cancer. You might want to reach out an see if any manufacturers would be interested in doing a short run of pink kites to commemorate the anniversary.

FWIW: The Pink Prism Quantum Pros after months of begging on the forum and similar at the Berkeley Kite Festival.

I still love that pink Access!

There were a couple sets of Blades, some Rages, stings, buzzez and a couple saber (depower) The stackers I've seen were not printed with the PUNK logo. I have a full set 1.8 2.5 3.5 4.7 6.0 The 6 is no longer made and a little harder to find in any color. From what I understand only 50 PUNK kites were produces. That means only 2 or 3 or each size! Might separate with the set for the right price.
