Thanks BigKid!

Basically the New Tech is a great entry level foil for those who need something for higher winds but don't feel like getting spanked while they're out in the buggy.

This specific New Tech doesn't scream 'crispy' but it is in good shape overall and a good deal, especially with lines and handles in, at this price.

I agree, while New Tech may not be top of the top when it comes to kite companies it is a decent beginner kite. Well behaved . RTF makes it a very good deal. Lines and handles alone cost that much. Almost like a free kite for the price of lines and handles.

The Ballistic when new was sold for 399.00. A few went for less when New Tech decided to drop the kite and replace it with the Thunderfoil.
I have one that came with a bar and handles. One of the 2 liners with the wrist strap brake setups, was one of the kites I learned to board with. By the way, Airin is selling this at a killer price.

And those kites did not have a crinkly finish (like others) on them when they were new. I have a can of sealer for kites if you want it to be crinkly.

its a good deal, just dont think I need it. Just got my PL xplore 4m and a slightly bigger 4.9 may not get much more pull in lower winds that i am wanting.

The New Tech Ballistic is a great entry kite. I do believe airin picked this kite up from me a couple of years ago. This kite is loads of fun on low wind days. Will fly in next to nothing, which can be fun when fly a 4.9m wing like you would a really sllloowww rev!

You have a good memory, Sean, this is indeed the kite I got from you.

I like your description of flying it like a rev, very apt!

Like you even had to doubt !

C'ya Sunday and I'll get all the stuff for down South.

SAD, SAD day it will be ! :Ange09:

Congrat's to all those who got these great deals. It just shows that good gear can move fast if it's priced right!

Stetson05, what direction are you going on your route home?

Usually up the gorge. We aren't coming back until the 8th though. I thought about offering but I didn't know how well it would work out. You probably don't want to drive this way on your way to the coast either. We can work something out if you want to though.

All kites are now SOLD!

Thanks guys!

And a big thanks to Bladerunner for transporting kite and buggy down south!

Thanks, but I will just be patient. I will be in sunset area on the 12th.
