Power Kite Forum

Hello Everyone

I just want to introduce myself. I'm Patrick and I am in Ventura, Ca. I was really big in to the kites in the mid 90s and still have some Peter Lynn Peels, Quatrefoils (a few sizes) and a few old school delta sport kites. I believe I have a signed Top of the Line North Shore Radical and I MIGHT have an original Revolution quad line, back when they were called "Neos Omega"

Anyway, I have recently dug out my garage and found an original PL buggy with a back rest (used by me 20 years ago) and a bag of parts of brand new frame pieces, wheels and seat webbing. I'm probably going to embarrass myself getting back in to the seat, but eventually I think I will sell the buggies. Does anyone have an idea of their worth? I have been out of it for a long time and looking at the forum now, I see many newer styles and versions.

Thanks and keep the lines tight.
Patrick

Welcome back!

I ride a very old buggy So old it is made by Flexifoil but a PL design. Not even articulated side rails. LOVE my Spring Back, back rest! I bought the buggy used about 10 years ago for $250. I suggest you get out and ride again before considering selling it? If you did sell it, $250 with split shipping should be a good place to start.

I also have a Peel and Quadrafoil XL. The Peel is as new and signed by PL himself. Both kites sit in storage. I ONLY WISH I had the time to give them some air. The kites you have will do the job but newer models are arguably better.

Hi - thanks for the replies. Yes I just cleaned it up and I think I will dig out the kites and give it a shot.
Still might sell them , but AFTER I play a little.
Thanks,
Patrick

Patrick - good to hear you will give the sport a second shot! Now do things right, get in your car, drive 4 hours east and give yourself a proper reintroduction on the Ivanpah playa. :D
