GONE! Traded...FS or Trade CHEAP!: Peter Lynn Phantom 15m Twinskin - Delivered to IBX!!

Make me an offer. You know what it is worth...let's get this big, beautiful kite to its new owner. Make me a offer.





















I got this in trade 3 years ago from Chip Brown. I opened it a few times but never tried to fly it. When I opened for these pictures I saw that the kite and strings appear to be in perfect shape. The bag is a little beaten but it successfully protected the kite inside.

The only thing I know about this kite was by a local guy that said it was in excellent shape and had all the pieces. He also said these kites are legendary. Please see the pics for what is included.

I will also give you an inflater that I built using a boat air pump. It is completely self-contained and uses 8 AA batteries to inflate the entire 15m in 1.5 minutes! I built it specifically for this kite...but alas, never did anything with the kite.







I'd like to sell at IBX this year. I will transport it there provided someone shows an interest. I have a full vehicle (2 buggies, a landsailer and many kites) but will bring this along.

I will also throw in a Liquid Force Havoc 16m depower kite (Kite and Bag only). This one was sent into a tree by my brother. Big rip in it but someone might be able to fix it. Heck, for free it may be worth it!



I really want this to go to someone rather than sit in my garage. Make me an offer. Cash or trade for something or other.

See my other listing for a Flexifoil Buggy. Perhaps a package deal!

If I had not just bought mine back, I'd jump on this. Awesome beach kite. Hooj upper range. This kite looks like it could be unused. Like new.

Hey Bobby, what's a 15m worth?

volock - 13-3-2016 at 12:35 PM

No clue what a reasonable offer would be nor am I going to make it go IBX like I had planned or I'd probably consider it... I want to get a smaller twinskin yo get more comfortable with them. My 19m just looks too too big in the air

I am driving from Denver. I could drive through Albequirkey but it would add a little more time on my drive.

If you really want it, we could figure something out.

Were you the one that got the buggy from NABX a few years ago? I was bringing it back for you....

Morrie I paid $300 for mine without a bar. This one is at least as nice and is ready to fly. I just sold a similar bar and lines for $80. This is such a sweet park and ride kite on a beach with 10-18 mph winds. Goes upwind like crazy. You could almost take a nap flying it. Well if you chock your wheels you could. First time I flew mine I left it at zenith and got a water out of the car. It's auto zenith is so strong you can launch in the morning and just hook the chicken loop to the trailer hitch. Tridude loved to chat with other kite surfers and make a point to not look at the kite or touch the bar. After a minute or so they would notice that no one was flying the kite. I'm a big fan if you can't tell. Just got a deal on a 12m in UK to go with my 15.

Wasn't me on the buggy. I'm pretty sure I know who it was you did that for though, not many of us kiters in town .

If you don't end up selling it by IBX, shoot me a U2U, I'll be in Denver in April (visiting the parents) and will probably buy it off you then, but for your sake am hoping someone jumps on it sooner. I'm really hoping to see a 12m or less one of these days so I can get comfortable enough with arcs with less risk (we rarely get steady low wind... Where if its not blowing at least 15 it's a toss up for heading out), but 15m is more doable than my 19m. That amount of material in the air just scares me... More than the 20m LEI I've flown for some reason.

Volock, there is nothing to be scared of with kites like this. They are THE most well behaved depowers I have ever flown. If I am honest, the 12m is the one you should be scared of. I have a 12m Charger 2 and I do love it for the winds over 20mph+, but I have to tell you that the larger sizes of these kites are big friendly giants. I have been spanked by my 12m many, many times. I have never been spanked by a big kite 18m+. Even accidental lofting is just up and down gently on your feet.

Paul takes fantastic care of his kites, and this one is a beauty. I already miss mine (traded to Dave, who really needed an awesome kite)

abkayak - 14-3-2016 at 04:50 PM

This is the 68 Mustang of kites (289)...you all want this

A deal has been struck. This kite is going to its happy owner at IBX!

jeepersjoey - 15-3-2016 at 12:17 PM

Thanks to you all for assisting and providing feedback on the awesomeness of this kite.

Paul
