is this a good deal? 3 kites for $260


Hey, i just saw on pansh website that you can get 5 meter ace and sprint with one set of lines/bars for 260. Also you can get a free 4 meter pansh flux when you spend 260. Is this a really good deal? Would I be able to sell two of the kites easy? Don't want to get stuck with 3 kites lol

its a good deal if you like to flush money down the toilet. If you work hard for your money I suggest buying one good quality kite. You get what you pay for!

3 kites that don't leave the factory in proper flying shape aren't worth just about any price.

Pansh can be great kites, after work. Always, after work.



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

I don't think the kites are all that bad but you will outgrow them pretty quickly. But they would be tough to sell on, and none of them are great for learning, esp. in inland conditions. The aces fly alright but they need smooth wind. The sprint is a bit of a raw race kite without the quality. The flux I don't know. Also a lot of lemons come out of the pansh factory. The lines and handles are acutally OK, but not great again and you would only get one set. And selling a pansh kite KO is a really tough sell.



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.

is stating the truth now considered bad mouthing? If Pansh put out a decent quality kite then we would have nothing to say, but until they do .....

And just like furbs said ... to try and sale a used pansh kite is very difficult especially as kite only. Not only does the quality cause resale problems its sales like this buy 2 and get one free deals just drives your resale into the ground.

lol well i already have a 11 meter bow kite, just want something to practice on/landboarding. I saw someone here sell a 4 meter flux for $90 with shipping. Is that a good deal? I just don't want to pay alot. Already spent like $1000 on gear/lessions.
