... for my stingy-as mother. She got hooked on my Vibe 2.3 and she wants one but unlike me, isn't prepared to put out for the goodies.

Something 2m-ish or less, prefer a 4 liner (I do anyway) but will consider 2 liners.

Something that can take some crashes - my Vibe is cheap and cheerful and really tough but only 2 lines makes it tough to relaunch ...

Something sub-$100 :shocked2::puzzled::ticking: I'm sure I'm adopted eh.

Prism Stylus P.3?

What's that then

Googled ... Vibe is still cheaper IIRC ...

Just an idea, give her your vibe, and upgrade yourself to a small 4 line, then the price won't sting as much! C'mon, it's your mom! Get her a nice 1.4M beamer, it takes over 20mph wind to yank me around, but it's fast and fun to fly. I think the smallest Hornet is 2M, and I haven't flown one, but flying the 2M Beamer is a lot of fun at 10-15, but a sudden gust at 20+ will scare the unprepared! But maybe that is part of the thrill of powerkiting for her, I know it is for me!

Beamer sounds good ... a III would be the ticket ...

ya, the mk III is green! My favorite!

you can get a Flexi Sting 1.7 on ebay for not much

Kent has a PL Spark for $99 dual lines and straps.

Eolo 2.3 Radsail complete w/handles Used Good Trainer $110 from Brad

Or you could get her a PL Vapor 2.7 from Mike ... just a bit over your sub-100 budget. ;-) But think of the Karma... er um, I mean Kami points. :roll:

ATB,
Sam

im confused, 4 line or 2 line?

i have a used 2-line PL Spark 1.5 for $70

In Kami's words:

"Something 2m-ish or less, prefer a 4 liner (I do anyway) but will consider 2 liners."

Kami!!!!

Hey Kami have a 3m 4 line kite that I bought in china you can have free if you wish may just have to tune kite

I think the problem with the P3 would be for her to set up the bridle by herself. Same goes for meddling with Pansh bridles although she's in the same state as you, nocando - she lives about 5 minutes walk from Botany Bay.

The Sting's look pretty good, I'll ask her.
Otherwise, I think she'll have to put up with 2 lines ...

Vibe 1.9 is only $74. It won't drag her on her nose as easily as that 2.3 can. Tell her not to crash it if she is worried about relaunch. LOL.

Tough to get a 4 line in that range.

Yeah I know. I'm actually impressed with how quick she picked it up - maybe 2 or 3 hours in and she's already keeping it in the air nicely despite being almost no wind, doing figure 8's and even launched the Vibe off the ground a few times. I let her have a go with the Cult 3.5 in next to nothing wind and was greatly amused when she power-dived it and got dragged downwind she was already sitting down so it was a drag, not a slam.

Waiting for bbrex to get back to me about a Sting - she seems to have stretched her budget up to the $120-ish mark ...!

P3 isn't bad, just switch it over to 4 line once and leave it that way.

Ha, Kami's mom is going to be out huckin' and rippin' in no time.

That's awesome. When are you going to track down a board for her?

Isn't MBS an AU company? They should sponsor her!

I won't be there to do it though Mav ...
Dunno if she'd go for the board - I've shown her the vids but she's old and would probably break her hip or something ...
