hi all i have an old Naish arx 23.5m kite and its done well but i think its time for it to retire from the water,its a legend of a kite to me so i dont want to just to toss it out :( the bar and everything has sold a while ago and the kite has sat unloved for a few years until i got it out today and pumped it up, i do miss flying her :P shes a beast lol.any ideas what to do with it should i fly it turn it into a tent or tie my mate to it and hook it up to my atv lol but i dont want it ending up in the hands of a kite novice for safetys sake

hi all my mate took it to pendine sands over the weekend and flew the great big brute and had a great laugh with it. we are taking it out again this weekend if the wind is light again.with 20yrs plus kite surfing/boarding experience we are going to keep the ferocious beast:evil: under control so it dont end up in the wrong hands.need a bar for it now as i sold the other one :( if any one has a suitable bar :D

I've thought about this too with my old North Rhinos.
I think with some sewing skills could make a nice "stuff sack" for quick pack-up of my newer kites.
