MG Mumbas - full set (nearly)


Ok, so it's time for the annual Winter kite re-shuffle!
Selling my set of MG Mumba race kites (http://www.mg-kites.com/site/products/kites/mumba/). A fantastic set of high performing kites in superb condition. These are about 1 year old and have had very little use.
Always well looked after and dried after use. The custom orange and black colours look great when flying - very distinctive.
If you take the whole package I'll throw in the paraglider rucksack (matching black and orange - almost new!)

Located in the UK but will post abroad at cost.

Total package £2100 plus shipping (including paraglider rucksack).
Would rather sell as a total set but if I get enough interest in individual kites I might split - but that would be a shame :(

Individual prices
3.2m - £170 - used 2 times
3.9m - £195 - used 3 times
4.8m - £220 - used 3 times
5.7m - £255 - used 4 times
7.2m - £300 - used 4 times
8.7m - £340 - used 3 times
10.4m - £380 - used 2 times
12.3m - £425 - used once
All prices are kite only and shipping will be extra.

Shipping to the US.
The quotes I'm getting are around £150 for the set, so if you take the whole package I will split the shipping with you - so £75.
Single kites would be £25 each.

If you want references then I'm a regular at the PKA races in the UK and have sold lots on KiteCrowd and RaceKites.com under this nick name - check with Thorondor, Purple Monkey, Alan_c, VDub.

I might be persuaded to take a sensible offer on the whole set only :)

Well, I cannot claim to have any experience with JoJos and only limited time on Vapors, but having raced against Vapors this year I found they compared very favourably in terms of speed - I was easily keeping up and sometimes overtaking Vapors. This, of course, is hugely pilot and conditions dependent and others would either do better/worse. The Mumbas did pretty well in the Euros this year with a strong representation for a relative newcomer on the scene - http://www.islandchallenge.eu
Don't forget, it's a full-on race kite and will bite you if you don't pay attention - like most other race kites!
That said, it's by far the fastest race kite I've had having flown Predators, Boras, Yakuzas, Centuries, Coopers and Vapors over the years.
Nice video by the MG guys here - http://vimeo.com/74969589#at=0
Hope this helps.

Make me an offer - you never know your luck!

Thanks for sharing your experience with the Mumbas. Definitely sounds like a great kite. I've only flown the YaS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-s, RM+ and the Vapors so it would be cool to try something different.

With the Quantum out now and rumors of the new Vapor due in early 2014, it makes it really hard to decide what to do...sure wish I could demo all these kites but water is king here so no real options to demo land kites that I am aware of.

No problem.
Here's a couple of pics of the 10.4m in action at the Westwrd Ho! cup last month.

Anyone want to make me an offer?

Hey folks - these are still up for grabs.
Shame these are sat around not being used.
Would take offers around £1600 plus shipping for the set including the paraglider rucksack.
