Rare MANTA I 8m Orange/Black price drop


$400 shipped! Hope the price is nice now. :cool:First of all most of you did not get to fly one of these because not many were made, they came and went on to the M2. A few shop owners got them as demos. I barely grabbed this in 2008. They have a similar power to the 07 Frenzy 7m.....but much more upwind with the same grunt. Has about the same power as 10m manta 2. Depower is there but you Feel the bar and will not need the gym afterwards. Super direct handling and stable in any condition. This kite will grow confidence and is the ONLY kite I have jumped with. Have had it in 8-10 kts and fun in small bug, and have had it in 35kts...trying to land. Have had this kite over 60mph. HUGE power slides, enough grunt to pop up on a wheel at any time, enough upwind to be competitive...placed top 5 several times with this kite.
Condition...Used on the lakebed and beach, so there will be dust and sand. Material is still crispy, but not shiny. Lines and bar are in great shape. A couple Front leading edge seams are pulled on and I would recommend sail tape over them, and I found a pinhole the size of a pencil lead.:rolleyes:
