5m HQ apex 3 and 7m Flexifoil Bullet


Thought I'd try kiting to take the place of kayaking, didn't get as into it as I thought (and moved to a place with better kayaking). I have a couple of kites I'd like to send off to someone who'll get more use out of them.

HQ Apex 3 5m
Used 4-6 times, has a small repair on the trailing edge done by the guys at fixmykite.com (closeup of repair is pictured). Ready to fly, comes with backpack. $400

Flexifoil Bullet 7m
Set up but never flown (I was scared of it, and the guy I bought it from must have been too, since it was still in the plastic when I got it from him). Comes with bar, lines, backpack. $300

DaKine Fusion seat harness
Used with the Apex, $50

Shipping out of Missoula, MT

The Apex3 is a perfect entry depower with a great range. In the buggy on the beach it happily moves my large frame in just shy of 15 to 25+ winds. Just sayin'.

I really liked my 7m Bullet. It was my large kite in my 1st quiver and never gave me any reason to fear it. VERY well behaved kite.

A local had one as a one kite quiver and it was amazing how much use he got out of it around here.( we don't get a lot of strong winds here ) . The 7m was actually not big enough for our low winds often and was replaced by my 9m Blade.

I am small and a conservative pilot . I really think you should rethink being afraid of the 7m Bullet ? Others shopping should not be too concerned. The 6.5 Blade is the kite that really deserves the respect you are giving the Bullet. Not a race kite and not designed for jumping . Just a nice stable kite with a decent range. :thumbup:



Kites: 2.5m Profoil , Quadrifoil XL kitesurfer, NPW 5 Danger.
Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.
Flysurfer : 19m Speed 2 SA, 7m Pulse
Peter Lynn :18m Phantom, 15m Synergy, 10m Synergy, 1200 Farc, 460 Sarc, 130 Tarc, 5m Peel, 4.2m , 6.4, 8.5 C-Quads, 3.5 LS2 single skin.

Rides: Flexi / P.L. Frankin'Buggy , Shaped + straight skiis, sand skis, Coyote blades. Core 95 ATB. RKB R2 ATB .

The harness is an XL. Who knows, maybe if we get a good low/med wind day out here before it sells I may go give that bullet a shot. Definitely had a day back in Tri Cities where I should've folded up the Apex and switched over to the bullet, but by the time I'd realized that the winds had dropped too much even for the bullet.
