I flew on of these Sunday in 25-38mph wind and it was a sweet little kite. Lots of power but easy to handle. I know it's a long shot as it is an older kite. But I would like to find one.

Don't be afraid to try one of the newer Bests. The Bularoos were designed to be a multi purpose kite, I have sizes 10-16 and they are great kites. I also had a 5m Waroo and it was equally good, but the Bularoos were beefier. If you find a small one of either of these (mine are 2008 vintage) they are great kites.

Thanks I will check them out as well. I was asking about the other because I flew it and it was wicked nice. Just right for crazy winds. I think I would like most any thing in the same range of size and handling.

I guess non avalible here, I also checked craigs list a few times.

Perhaps this would suit you.... a tad smaller than the Best.

SkyHigh Kites is located on Martha's Vineyard. Might just want to ring (508.259.2728) them up and see if it would be a good fit for the slot in your quiver you are trying to fill.

Thanks Sam, I called up Mark and talk to him for a while.

Cool.... Until you're sorted, I'll keep an eye out for other likely candidates.

You might want to check with some of the local schools. They will be cycling out their on-hand trainers and smaller LEIs in preparation for the 2012 gear.

I'll have to check out the schools. Good idea thanks.

No water for me so far. I just knew about SkyHighKites because I have been lusting after that Uno :sniff: In the words of Hugo the Abominable Snowman: "I will name him George, and I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him... "

Well Sam if I do get it I will let you play with it. But no real hard hugging

I promise to be gentle. :saint:

Well I didn't figure it out fast enouph and so I didn't get the one in the Vineyard. Still looking. Wish I could figure out craigs list. Is it just me or can every one only search one town at a time?

Craigslist officially only lets you search one town (region, actually) at a time. Plenty of other sites provide you the capability to perform more extensive searchs and across multiple cities.

SearchTempest is one.

Do a google search for "search all craigslist" and you should find a bunch of sites that allow you to search more than one city at a time or by regions and such. If you have a phone that supports apps, they have some craigslist apps that allow broader searches too, pretty handy.

What was I thinking? I should have known Sam would beat me to this

Nice try Rian, He is a tough guy to beat

Thanks guys. I'll give this a try.
