No, I meant you rejected the EVO for not being a foil kite....before you found out it was a foil kite, that's all.

Best of luck in your searching. As with any purchase, you can pay more to have it now, or wait to find the right deal. This forum does have some decent deals, but perhaps shipping from the US might be expensive for you. I assume you're also looking on places like foilzone?



Tide? What's a tide? Man, it's 1000 miles to any ocean.

I respect your decision to wait. I have made a few mistakes in buying too quick.

I have only heard good things about the Evo? I know that a few folks on here have them.

Before giving up completely I suggest you start a thread asking for 1st hand empressions on here. They are more popular in GB so maybe asking the same question on powerkites.com will get a larger responce ?

At your price point you will have limited choices. It isn't a Flysurfer budget and barely an arc one.

Here is one arc you can afford. It will need a bar and lines.

Thanks for advice guys.
I'm searching on different forums. No luck so far. But I know I will find something that will suit me. Maybe it is going to take some time.

I saw hose Scorpions, I have them in my watch list. Are these good kites for a begineer? What would be better for me: 90kg, wind mostly between 7-18knots in my area, using on land. Would 10 or 13 be better for me?

The Scorpian is a far better arc than the Bomba.

It is a unique arc. It is generally a very friendly easy kite but at the same time it can turn on you. It is fast and punchy with it's lift. One of the tougher arcs to launch and at the same time can be one of the most rewarding arcs to fly.

It sounds like you are looking for a kite you won't grow out of and this fits that bill. If you can find a Scorpian RTF delivered overseas I would JUMP at it ! Or be skeptical if it isn't a reputable seller. Seems to me they are still out of your price range.

It is hard to get your head around how much larger am arc you would fly compared to foils. A 13 or 16m would serve up in the winds you describe.

If you are seriously looking for a Scorpian. There is a 10 + 13 in perfect shape, complete for sale over on arcusers for $500 OBO . The going rate !

I think WolfWolfee on here may be selling his 16m?

Hi

Too bad that the offer for ApexII came now. I would be tempting to buy it.

I bought North Solid 9m two days ago. Now I'm waiting for the kite to arrive. Hopefully it was good decision. I will try it and i will see :D
