I'd prefer to save some money on a used kite, let me know what you have! Complete or partial setups, it doesn't matter. Good to excellent condition
only.
Just getting started and I'm looking for something nice!:D

Welcome!
I don't have any kites to part with yet, however
I'm pretty sure someone here will either have a kite offer, or point you to where you can find one!
Jim88 - 7-6-2015 at 06:35 PM
Thank you for the warm welcome.

Jim88 - welcome to the Monkey House! You'll find plenty of us here with similar wind interests. I love hearing that you want just one kite. Good
luck with that! 
Nothing to sell you this week, but I'm sure you'll find takers. Might be a good idea to familiarize yourself with the U2U feature on PKF. I'm pretty
new myself and have found that you pitch something out there on the For Sale or Wanted forums but then "consumate the relationship" via U2U. Another
pointer is to read reviews of buyers and sellers at the top of the For Sale forum. You will likely find that the person you are going to do business
with comes highly referred by others on the forum. You on the other hand will just have to start at ground zero and prove yourself. Good flying!

It might be a bit harder than you think to get a small foil. Most keep at least a few smallish FBs to use as high wind kites. Welcome to the
addiction,cut up your Credit Card now,before someone else does.:D

Oh God of Welding - sage advice. Easy to hear; darn near impossible to act upon. Majorly cool 2-wheeler in your avatar shot BTW.

I have a newer gen 5 Beamer..........3 meter..............perfect first quad-line kite.............let me see if the wife will let it go..........she
LOVES her 2.6 PL Viper, so this other 3 meter isn't getting used much. But it's her call. No rush to sell, but it's a great starting point for you
and kiting..........it plants a seed and then a whole quiver will grow.

Well Windy Heap, that sounds like a great kite! Let me know how things develop. I'm interested!
Swesting, I'm already obsessed after a short experience with a 2.5m and 3.5m in mild and gusting winds. I've already got plans for my hockey
rollerblades so it would be great to get flying already without buying new. I'm eager to figure out how to travel 2 directions instead of just one!
Come winter I'll hopefully be searching for a bigger kite :piggy: and I'd like a buggy at some point too. I'm also speculating that I could learn a
lot from a rev kite...

Jim88 - that's the spirit! :bigok:

can anyone say:
Hook Line Sinker?
His Visa card is doomed. :D
Yeah I can probably sell the like new 3m Gen 5 beamer, I'll U2U you for paypal info.
In this video, the yellow white foil is an older gen beamer (3 or 4?), this will give you a good idea on what to expect,
I love my Peter Lynn Vipers the most....see my sig of my quiver.
Enjoy some of my Beachin' Videos, and Jim88 with only 3 posts to the forum, welcome to our Foil Follies.
Ask anyone, and my 3m Beamer is the perfect kite to learn your Wind Window and power/pucker zone.
