3m kite?

Blitzhound - 23-7-2015 at 07:02 PM

hello PKF.
I'm a long time reader first time poster!
i'm looking to add another member to the kite family. I'd like something around 3M
i currently have a 1.5M Alpha, and a 5M Beamer. the alpha is OK. i love the Beamer. i would like someting that is a little faster then the Beamer but still just as well behaved. i would like lines and handles, but i don't need them...i have about $200 to spend including shipping. if you know of anything or have something that might fit the bill. please let me know

Are you looking to ride it or just for piloting fun?

I have Prism Tensor 3.1 , it needs new safety leash in bar mode , or all perfect if in handles mode ..... $200 shipped as is .....

I can vouch that the Prism Tensor 3.1 is a great kite. I loved mine. It is well made and very controllable. If it is good shape then $200 seems fair; they cost about $325 new.

Both...piloting fun till I can find a buggy that will fit me then riding.

I've got couple of dual line wings to offer but no rear lines on them.

Pretty good deal for a fast and fun kite: http://shop.flexifoil.com/recreational-kiting/rage-was-165/ $96 after added to cart. Sure the shipping is outrageous(~$40); but you will have it in 2 days.

Found it!

Thanks for all the replies guys. I did end up finding my next kite. Picked up a 3m HQ Toxic. I can't wait for it to get here. Super stoked!

Blitzhound - I'm glad you were able to find just what you wanted in that 3m Toxic. I noticed you have a gap in your quiver, jumping as it were from 3 to 5m in kite sizes. As you've gotten them up in the air I'm thinking you've already noticed how different the pull is between those two kites.

Just FYI, I've got a great kite for sale here on PKF that would slot right in that gap, a near-new PL Hornet in the 4m size. This is a great kite that would complement your quiver perfectly should you want to go that way.

Have fun with your kites! :karate:
