Wow, these are like offensively high resolution. Well, I wanted to be up front about the kite's shortcomings, so here they are in full HD detail











2011 Slingshot Rally 10m (Complete) - $300
This is a great value for those who aren't as picky about what their kites look like. She's a little sun-faded, she has big leading edge (professional) repair, and a couple of pinhole repairs. She shows some wear and tear all around, but she still holds air and flies like a champ. I could easily get a few seasons out of this one (even more if I did some general maintenance). The bar & lines are in good shape and don't need replaced any time soon. The pre-2013 Rallys pivot on a dime, fly fast as hell, are predictable and powerful when you want them to be. Sheet out and they depower to almost nothing. I love these kites. This is a great, cheap intro to the Rally. Comes with bag and bar. Pics coming soon.

Are you strictly tube kites now?

Not necessarily, but since I started doing water I'm a wuss about not having a giant floaty thing with me at all times in the water. I still kinda miss my Peak I and my Speed 4

added pics of the Rebel. I'll try to get pics of the Rally tomorrow.

I've flown both of these kites - as Dave states the Rebel is indeed in fantastic condition and is a fantastic kite! The Rally (in my opinion anyway) is in better shape then Dave gives it credit for and is a good kite.

Lastly buy with confidence with Dave. I've flown or seen every kite he has sold over the last two years or so and they have all been accurately described if not actually better then listed.

Dang, I have been wanting to try a tube kite for some time and that's an awesome price to get started. Too bad I just used up the kite fund. Of course there's always that little voice "just buy it, you can always sell it"

I swear, you know how when you buy a new kite there's never any wind?

I feel like a similar premise happens with me and money. If there's a kite i want, i have no money! Part of me hopes you'll still have it when i do, but i doubt that's the case!

I'm trading no wind for perfect wind,15mph and no gusts, but bad downpour rain and plenty of lightning between pouts of it pouring going on two days. I'm pretty sure it'll be a few days or more to somewhere dry enough to fly.

Ouch, that might be worse than no wind... Wind you can't use

Wow, that's a big storm... same thing has been going on here in Denver.

Incidentally, sale pending on the Rebel. Rally still available.

Added offensively high resolution pics of the Rally.
