Flysurfer Cool
Hi guys.
Can anyone say anything about a Flysurfer Cool 9m ? 5-6 years old. Maybe I have one on my hands, but I don't want to spend my money on something not
worth them.
thx. Fizeman.

Cool is like 8 years old If I recall correctly. Not a bad kite! Wholeheartedly agree that FlySurfer got better in later years. I have the rookie2,
the evolved version of the "Cool" and it's a twitchy kite that doesn't have much depower.
I wouldn't pay more than a few hundred.
Tide? What's a tide? Man, it's 1000 miles to any ocean.

Not a bad way to get your quiver grown. You'll wish pretty quickly that it acted more like the Apex3 you have! The price was certainly right!

At $189 complete + harness you got a good deal. I would have expected him to ask $250 and take $200.
Don't judge Flysurfer strictly on this kite. It will be well made but newer kites fly that much better. The safety is much improved as well.

I doubt it, my rookie2 is a "depower" kite that flies like a FB on a bar, it's kind of #@%$#!! Even a dozen hours #@%$#!ing around with it couldn't
correct it.
Heck, if anyone says they can fix it, I'll pay shipping both ways.
I feel I have gotten my money's worth on the purchase, but I was thinking I was buying a sporty little car and ended up with a supercharged sportbike!
