I don't know if any of you have heard of Greg Chilton, he's one of the leading kite competitors in the UK. The first landboarding video I ever saw was his, and he was using a v2 13m and going huge. He kept doing big jumps over the camera guy and the sun shining through that kite was so rad. I could read the stickers on the bottom of his board as he traveled above the camera lens. The kite was in those colors. That video was the reason that I learned that kite landboarding even existed. Its what got me started on kiting. Ever since then i've been after that kite. I used my friends v2 13m last fall and i've been trying to buy his without any luck lol. When I found this one in Australia I went crazy hoping he'd sell it to me. I can't wait to post a photo with this kite where I am directly above the camera (like my avatar) except with my board on my feet :D

yeah it's definatly way easier in retrospect haha. I emailed the guy 4 times in one week and I never heard back from him. Since he didn't give me a tracking number and then didn't respond i was starting to think that I was getting scammed. Although not many scammers would know much about the quality of collapsable spars verses the old crappy carbon one piece spars
