Flysurfer Peak 1 9m $400 SOLD

ssayre - 4-10-2016 at 05:13 PM

I haven't been kiting near as much lately and this one isn't getting used like it should. Fantastic condition and includes stuff sack, kite, bar, lines. The plastic "weed eater string" stiffeners on the trailing edge on each end poked out of their pockets and I have sail taped them in. Other than that there is no damage or repairs. $450 shipped.

u2u me your email or cell number if interested and we will communicate that way. I hate using the u2u

ssayre - 4-10-2016 at 05:16 PM

And if your not comfortable with that, go find another peak :D

soliver - 4-10-2016 at 06:59 PM

poop... I want that :no:

ssayre - 1-12-2016 at 10:06 AM

Any reasonable offers?

You can email me. Seansayre@gmail.com

I would also entertain selling my peak 1 6m

That would make a fantastic snow kite starter kit or Christmas present.

Really wish I could...would love to get into snowkiting, but since I've gone from 1 to 8 kites in the last 4 months I think it's going to have to wait till next year. My wife is understanding, but there is a limit...

Selling Peaks!!!!:o

Somebody buy this quick before Sean comes to his senses! The 9 AND the 6 on the block. What's next? Frogs falling from the sky, swarms of locusts? This is wrong, just plain wrong....

Don't worry Steve, my feelings towards the peaks has not changed one bit. They are still my absolute favorite kites for traction in my area. The reason for selling is quite different form kites I've sold in the past. In fact it's just the opposite. By selling theses I will remove the temptation to kite. The last 3 years I've kited every spare moment that I could and my dear bride never said a word. During that time I've neglected several unfinished projects. She still has never complained but I know I'm on borrowed time. So I'm removing any temptation and distractions from doing things I need to get done in the next year. I still have some kites if I really get the urge so I should survive :D


Like Steve said, I've been known to change my mind so act quick. Or not. Who knows :P

SSI_Stefan - 1-12-2016 at 02:08 PM

That's is an awesome kite.

Windstruck - 2-12-2016 at 07:05 AM

Fair enough Sean, fair enough. Get those VW Rabbits operational while you're at it. :saint:

I do the same thing with food. Keep nuts out of the house or I swell up. Keeping peace at home is never a bad thing.

A little promotion for Sean's sale...
I've been flying 9m Peak2 for last two days and never ever before I've flown a depower kite in 2 knots of wind. I recall my 19m Speed3 Deluxe stayed in the air in 3.5 knots but 2 knots is just surreal.
You can't ride grass or snow in 2 knots but I rode asphalt on a parking lot. But just mere fact that it flies is great.
The leading edge kept perfect shape at all times, the wingtips look a bit funny, but you just ride it and who cares...

Also with a single skin you don't need to worry that buddy of yours will whack the wing at the ground exploding cells.

Get these kites folks....they're sweet!

ssayre - 4-12-2016 at 03:25 PM

Thanks Grigory. I flew both yesterday in lightish winds. Both fly fantastic. And your right about asphalt riding in almost no wind. You can hear birds chirp and the squeak of your skateboard trucks in video but not hear any of the normal wind noise in most unedited kite video. It's really crazy. Personally, I love all single skin kites. Like Feyd has said before, they are the "Jeep" of kites. Fly anywhere, any conditions, anytime. I'm starting to change my mind so anyone interested better jump quick.

U2U sent.... I think. First time sending one:)

ssayre - 9-12-2016 at 07:12 AM

Sale updated to include 6m peak and price reduction on the 9m

Between the holidays, having a tree cut down and dental work, I'm feeling the squeeze. Just can't afford to have fun these days.
:P

Wind_dog - 9-12-2016 at 09:32 AM

email sent on 6m

ssayre - 9-12-2016 at 12:37 PM

6 meter sold. My apologies to LostWax. Good luck on your search.

9m still available.

ssayre - 10-12-2016 at 01:10 PM

I would like to add a trade option. I would like to get a rev or a freiline quad. Just a standard version of either. It will probably work out to be a trade plus cash.

OmniSmurfZ - 15-12-2016 at 02:16 PM

Anything in my sig you would trade for?

hellnferno - 18-12-2016 at 12:13 PM

Aww I was too late for 6M :/

Thanks for the offer. Great kites and love the venoms but I'm only interested in selling this kite or possibly trading for a rev style kite

Yes you are, but this is still a great kite. it does lack the high end that the 6m has but still a great kite for average low-med winds.

we have so much gusty wind up here in Moscow, ID and I think 6M depower is a good range for this type of condition. I've tried some bigger kites but I don't like it, makes me feels unsafe. Maybe I just need more time on my landboard tho.

soliver - 26-12-2016 at 03:24 PM

$450!!! Holy Katz!!!!... wish I had the dough!!!

utahtami - 26-12-2016 at 04:30 PM

Hellnferno: that 9m is a sweet kite. I am certainly not looking for a wild ride particularly to only pull 125 lbs. around, but have used that 9m Peak a lot in Colorado, Utah, and recently in the Big Horns of Wyoming. I can't imagine your conditions in Idaho would be different. I like the original Peaks a lot for their simplicity. That is a steal of a price.

How big a boy are ya? The 9m is a heck of a versatile kite with a ton on power scrubbing DP built in. Depending on your answer the 9m might play like a 6m.

ssayre - 5-1-2017 at 04:16 PM

Bump.

Folks, this would be a great snow kite / buggy kite.

ssayre - 5-1-2017 at 04:17 PM

I'll be putting it on some other forums or eBay shortly if no interest. Just wanted the pkf crowd to have the first chance

thanks, sean

ssayre - 14-1-2017 at 12:34 PM
