I just managed to get a new old kite for my collection! I managed to get an old 18M Best BFK for 15 bucks! It's new old stock, it has never been flown and still has the foam protective pieces around the valves. I will need to find a 5 line bar though... hopefully for cheap... Has anybody had experience with these kites? Anywhoosies...... A NEW KITE is always a good thing! :P Should have pics this Tuesday.

Not sure if you have chance to ride your Naish Torch ..... If not .... you probably don't know that those are not beginner kites , and may get you frustrated when learning kiteboarding, those huge 5 line C kites are pain to re-launch , got small de=power range are not stable as models 2-3 years younger .... same goes for Best BFK ...... I know price is awesome , but nobody really wants those kites ........ for $15 or free , unless for reuse of materials ....
I know this is not what u want to hear , but those kites are not "safe" .......

Here is more info about Best BKF ..... it was written in 2005 .....

LOL! I am no beginner. I know how to fly large kites. I just have no experience with is particular model. My fav kite is my 19M Venom 2, the Torch still needs all its valves replaced. I only have that one because it's pretty. LOL! My old quiver consisted of many 22 to 16 meter kites. I have been flying since 1993.

My 21 meter Nemi!

My Venom 2

Ok ... cool .... Just want to make sure no one gets hurt ......
...... Nice pics ..... Drone ???

Yeah, I understand. I do the same before I sell one of my kites to anyone.
YEP! Its a DJI Phantom pro. I love aerial shots from my kiting excursions. I think it really adds something to a vid. Only problem is, that it has a wind limit of about 15 to 20 mph and that's when things get good. LOL!

Brand New for $15 :o....nice. I bought a brand new 2004 14m Wipika WIP for silly money on ebay last year. Almost impossible to launch and scary even in the lightest of wind but I could not resist.

LOL! Redsky.. That's kinda how it happened.... I was watching this kite in an auction and nobody had really bid on it, but it ended in about an hour.. I placed a bid of 25 bucks... woke up later to a win. LOL! New and unflown makes it even better. I love large dangerous kites... I have a problem. LOL!
