hi

I'm looking for a depower kite. Around 10m. Something for a beginner.
My budget is tight - around $400 together with shipping.

Do you have something to offer?
Thanks

Hi,
See this one, it is a 12m JN Semi, but not a bad kite. You will need a bar though.

Hi

Thanks.

Any experience with North Solid 07 9m? is it stable kite? good to learn? good to kite? any problems with these kites?

Does anybody have any experience with North Solid kites?

North kites are good, generally speaking, but I have never heard of a "North Solid" kite. I did a little websearch on it. I didnt know North was making an open cell foil kite. It looks like a good buggy engine, perhaps. It says it can water relaunch, but with those open cells, I wouldnt recommend taking it out on the water... Just my personal thoughts on it...

I tried to do a websearch for those kite. All I found is that there is 4th generation of this kite in this year. However, I have not found any review from user so I'm not sure whether it is a good kite or not

oooh i forgot...my main intention is to use it on snow

I almost bought a north (opencell depower, idk the model) a year or so back... the deal killer was the open cells no good for water. I had a hard time finding reviews, but I did get a little feedback via u2u. Good rep, good quality, folks were saying North kites and north bars (esp. the safety North Ironheart chickenloop) were good.

I'm not much above a noob tho, so keep bumping the thread and you'll get some feedback on them from folks much more qualified to speak than I.

4 gens is good, means the kite has had some refinement and development. I think the 8m I was after was about $400 CDN, so the price might be right for a 10m this year.

hope that helps, good luck with your search.

I have an 11m Neo I demo. Price would be a little more than the $400.00 price you are looking for. Best price I can get you is $650.00, but comes complete with lines/bar/bag - everything complete. Kite has barely been used and looks brand new.

to awindofchange:

Thanks but it is quite a lot for me now.

Anything?
Come n guys, you have to have something in garage that is not used :bouncing:

mdntdncr: are you trying to say something?

Dude, there is a Venom2 8m with your name on it in Germany.

btw; this Flysurfer Outlaw 8m is also really good and it will go 4 probably ~300eur.

That Venom looks god. Hopefully it won't be to expensive.

Is flysurfer Outlaw kite for a beginner?

Have an Evo 8 for sale if interested u2u me.

300$ ono

I did a bit of searching and it seems to me that Venom 8m is high wind kite. I'm 90kg so I would need something bigger.

FS Outlaw 8m seems to be a better choice now. :-) Hopefully the price will be alright :-)


@Nocando: Evo is not foil kite. But thanks anyway

I tried to bid on Access2 10m on eBay. I won it but the seller had too high reserve. (more then 300 Eur)

Does anybody has something interesting for me?
Please

Maybe I should have desribed it better Eolo radsails Evo 8m depower

I've got a 2005 ozone frenzy 12m. I little bigger and a little more pricey than what you posted though. I'm looking for $500

Hi thanks. Frenzy is not for a beginner and it is quite big for me to learn on

That Evo is an amazing deal! For a very good kite. It will fly early for learning but have a very high top end as your skills increase. If you fly the heck out of it you can create power very early .
They are far more popular in Europe.

+1 for that choice!

It should fit the budget with shipping as well!

The Outlaw will probably still be out of your price range used. Flysurfer is expensive from the start.

evo seems the best choice in your price range, honestly

I'm little bit affraid of these Radsails. There are not many reviews of them. (which means not many people use them) I have read about 3 positive and 2 negative reviews.
So now I'm confused

I'm still searching. Anybody has anything?

I have had no problem with my Radsail EVO II, it's a fine kite. more of a 'trucS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K- than a 'sportscar'. Good power, good depower.

I really don't know how many different offers you need to reject before you find a kite....

Well, this is one kite that I rejected

Yeah, its one kite you rejected before knowing anything about it.... :dunno:

Don't know what you mean. Should I first buy it and then reject it? As I wrote before. I tried to find reviews. There are not many of them. Found some good ones, some bad ones. So I made decision not to buy it. I do not know where you get the idea that I know nothing about it.
