newbie to the forum because of a theif


Long story short someone broke into my vehicle and stole my kite. While searching for a new one I came to land in this forum. I had no idea there were others like me :yes: so off to the sale section. If anyone has something 4-5M quad line for around $150.00 let me know whatcha got.

That really sux about your car getting broken into. Let us know what was stolen and we can all keep an eye out for it. You never know what can pop up on craigs list, E-bay or some of the other forums.

For a replacement kite, I just loaded up several demo kites of ours that we are closing out. Most of them are in like new condition and are close to your budget.

You can see them on the new kite site: http://www.kitebookie.com

Blade runner I will take you up on that offer consider them sold . Can I pick them up in Vancouver? I have a trip planed the 3rd week of August and I would like to have them for the trip. The kite that was stolen was an older Ballistic Blaze. I really knew it's strengths and weaknesses so a more modern kite will sure be a new experience. I will come for the sobb event sounds fun maybe you guys can teach me something.

Sounds Good Darins.

If you will be in Van. Canada then no problem. If not we caan go plan "B" and send them down with Rip's stuff?

If you get to SOBB you can meet up with the Pansh Team . Both kites are flying well thanks to RonH reworking the Blaze but it will be nice for you to meet the Rep's.

Hey Darins.


Where was your car parked? I have a 2.2m blaze so I know what it looks like.
What size is it?
Is your trip in Aug to WSIKF?
I know Gaston a little. I fish at Hagg from time to time. I have a 6m kite I want to try on Hagg one of these days.

Darins, Give us North-west people a description of the kite that was stolen. Most of us are on the beach/fields most weekends, excluding Sunset Jim of course (Think he's out most every day!! :lol: )

We can keep an eye open for it. Also check out your local used sporting goods stores. It may help to contact the owners/managers of those shops.
Most of them are on the up and up, and will inform either you or the local PD.

As far as SOBB goes. You just have to be there to understand. :crazy:

The blaze in question was a 3.3 black base with orange flames and was stolen from my truck in Gaston about 4 years ago and I have been complaining ever since. The time has come to get another.

August is our yearly family trip to the beach house

Bladerunner,,When is Rip going across the border? Any idea on shipping charges?

Hey Darins,

Messaged you a couple of times. Richard heads over the boarder today or tomorrow. Since I never got an address I never drove out to Richmond to drop the kites off. Missed that chance.

The offer to deliver them to SOBB in person is still up.
