Wanted: 12m Cronix Complete

I'm pretty sure this is the kite I want next, however no one seems to be selling one used right now. I know I saw one for $750 and am now wishing i'd grabbed it up because it looks like someone else did. If anyone knows where I can get one for cheaper than they are new let me know.

Checked the Flysurfer.com store?

Yeah, no used ones up at flysurfer-usa.com and I can't afford any new kite from Flysurfer.

Heya. I have one that I'd be willing to sell. It's a 2014 12m and I bought it brand new. I've ridden with it about 6 times (2 water, 2 land, 2 snow). It's a really fun kite, but it is really fast & turns fast. For me, this is awesome on snow & land... on water it's a little disconcerting; I'm trying to change to something a little more... boring... in the 12m range.

Anyway, how does $850 shipped (ConUS) sound?

Here are some pics:

Also, here's a really boring video of me flying it whilst landboarding. Wind was super light and a little gusty.



Send me a PM if you're interested.



Cheers,
Dave

Sent you a U2U. Sounds like just what I'm looking for.

.com also has a second hand store...

Huh, I definitely couldn't find those despite some searching. Proletariat's seems like a better deal though. Now I just have to wait until it gets here on Wednesday.

Kamikuza - 22-5-2015 at 08:09 PM

Yeah, there used to be a link off the main page - I couldn't find it either so Googled for the shop...

Lemme know when you get that bad boy. I'm super psyched for you.

rofer - 24-5-2015 at 08:42 PM

Yeah, me too. Looking to see where around here I could fly it.

Have one soccer field with enough wind to keep a kite in the air, but no room for anything but some tame static flying.

Currently seeing how far I would have to drive to get to a place where I could learn to kiteboard. Really excited for it to arrive.

rofer - 27-5-2015 at 02:17 PM

It's here!

Now I just need somewhere I can safely learn how to fly this thing. At this size I'm thinking it might even work with the winds we get at Candlewood lake.

That looks cool. Let us know what you think. I've been wanting to try an lei.

Nice!

How you liking it, rofer? I ended up getting a LF Envy to replace it and I'm afraid it's not as good as the Cronix for our conditions. No big deal... Every time I buy a new kite I learn something :). You having fun on that bad boy?

Man, I can't believe you ditched a Cronix to get yourself an Envy. I see a balance in trading a Speed4 for Rally - I just keep both of 10m of Rally and of 10m Speed4 myself. But hold on that Rally, that is a perfect kite.

Hardly got to fly it. I was just in Aruba, but a 12m seemed like a bit too much to bring there so I got an 8m Speed 4. Definitely intend to take it out to Lake Erie first chance I get though.
