Used Apex III 7.5m $375 shipped


This kite is not mine. I am just listing this for a customer of mine. He bought this kite earlier this year from me and used it very little. He said he used it in the dirt so it is a bit dirty. As soon as I get some pics from him I will post them up. At his price you can hose it off and have a nice kite. He said it comes with everything that came with it when he bought it new. He said no damage or repairs. I will post the pics as soon as I get them to see how it looks. At this price you can't go wrong.

$450 complete and shipped in conus.

Yes Rich this is a screaming deal. This is well below dealer cost. I am considering it myself to play with and do some R&D on :)

Here are some pics ... Someone better grab it quick before I snag it LOL

Ok I have a update on this kite. I have the kite in my possession and gave it a good look over today. I found 3 pin holes and a 1" rip. The 3 holes are on the very top of the leading edge ... very easy to tape. The rip is towards the tip all the way on the trailing edge. I think you can get to the inside to tape it but I did not try it.

Since I have seen these I have convinced the seller to drop the price to $375 shipped in USA. And to help the sale I will include a sail tape patch kit to the buyer to fix the holes. These holes and rip are in non essential areas and will not affect the performance of the sail. But I would highly recommend taping them to keep them from getting any larger.

Also please note ... Included items are: Kite, bag, bar, lines. There is no manual included.

Dino I will send a message to someone that may be interested. They don't frequent PKF so they may have not seen it. This is still a great deal with the minor repairs that need to be made.

Like Dino I cant believe someone hasnt snapped this up, anyone looking for a depower kite cant go wrong even if you send it out and spend $50-60 to fix it, you still have a 2011 (current model) complete depower kite for $425 ish, I certainly couldnt sell mine for anything near that.

Sorry he doesn't. This was his first depower and he says he has trouble packing/ unpacking the kite so he wants to stick with fixed bridle because he has no problem with them. I offered to help him learn the proper packing technique but his mind is set.

Well I wish I could help him out with this problem. The price is great and the kite looks good. I'm just looking for smaller for high winds.

This is such a great price! There's just no way to justify buying it with a 7m Montana in my quiver : (

I agree.... great deal..... but with an 8m Pulse 2 in the quiver it just doesn't fit......

Someone should buy this and remove the temptation..... :lol:

Hey Dino..... offer to do the repairs for 20 bucks before shipping..... maybe that will get someone to bite...... :lol: like your not busy... :lol:

There maybe a someone new to kiting that wants to buy this but has no idea how to do the repair......

Good point g00f if it helps someone I will do the repairs for $10. So when the kite leaves me it will be good to go and ready to fly when the new buyer gets it. If you want the repairs done by me please give me a couple days to get this done and shipped out to you. I might be able to get it done the next day after you buy it but just incase I request two days :)

I did not like packing up my 5m either (compared to the beamers). I just had trouble wrapping up the lines for some reason. Out of frustration, I tried parapacking.

It worked so well, I’m going to try it with my fixed bridles. Just a thought if that’s the big reason.
