Anyone know who currently owns Big Blu?

In all the incestual wheeling and dealing that goes on here on PKF I've lost track of who the current owner of Blu is. Tip of my tongue but can't quite remember.

Just curious. :smilegrin:

Smeagol maybe

Yeah Sean. Smeagol last I heard. Although, he was selling it at the time.

I was thinking shopforeman put it on eBay and someone, maybe smeagol bought it back. I could be wrong.

What exactly is "big blu"?

An all blue arc of some kind. Feyd will chime in on what it is exactly.

Blue was a kite that I had acquired from Rude Boy in a dirty kite dela while visiting him in Minnesota. He had gotten it from Peter Lynn NZ. It was a prototype of some sort, no markings and in fact wasn't even finished when Rude Boy got it. He added spar pockets and eventually I got ahold of it. Not clear what size it is. At least 24m. Don't know the AR or PA either. But I do know in terms of arcs for lightnwinds she is a great old kite.

Here's the story of Blu.
