I'd set someone up with the whole kit and kaboodle for a million but my phantom gives me the most pleasure to be flying at the moment. I still need
to get to know my synergy though.

I've been kiting for almost 2 years now and I've gone through a crapload of kites. Sadly some I wish I wouldn't have gotten rid of so fast. But, on
that note, I LOVE where i've ended up. 15m Synergy. It's my sweetspot cuz I bought it brandnew only been flown by me  . I use it as a sleeping bag at nights too. If it's too hot for that I just inflate it
and use it as a mattress. :smug:

For a million dollars I'd sell all my gear and then buy new gear just so I can do my part to keep the economy stimulated.:bouncy:
Not too long ago I would have said it was my Begos but the more I fly my depowers the less I think I would hold on to any of my FBs. Maybe I'd keep
my 2.5 because I have had MANY good days on that kite but at the end of the day, for the right price, I'll sell anything (so long as I can replace it
with something better)

Tridude, we'd need a tickertape to keep up with your kite of the week. :saint: I tried to keep pace with you at one time but you did a quickstep or
two and lost me. I skipped the whole inflatable step and might be able to follow you to the flysurfer side someday. I just want to get really comfy
with what I've got right now before adding or trading more. :bigok:

My prized kite
I would definitely have to say that my favorite is my 5m Ozone Flow, since my wife gave it to me as a wedding present when we got married last year. I
have sold several kites in the past but, this one will never be for sale. Even for all the money in the world.

a million would allow me to kite full-time anywhere in the world, so yeah I'd give up any kite for that! and my most prized kite keeps changing....
whichever one lets me push my skills without much risk... and that depends on the wind and ground... so I'll weasel out of that one. :embarrased:
fixed bridles, flying static, been two years now... ??? folks must be wondering....
sting 1.7, dp power 2.5, crossfire 3.2, ace 5, blade iv 6.5, ace 8, ace 12...
also a couple of arcs, 12 syn and 12 phanny, but i\'m not yet up to speed on them.
