I'm #@%$#!in done.

All are RTF packages, but no pumps, sorry. Bags included. Shipping not included. Ships from 80218 zip code if you want to get an idea of cost.


Slingshot Rev 9m $200 (SLE, Aqua/Black colorset) 6" tear near LE & seam needing repair. Has two scuff holes in LE that were repaired with sailtape after a wreck on ice to get back out there. Flies fine with the tape repair, but should probably have all of them addressed. My favorite kite, and therefore, the most worn. PICTURES : http://imgur.com/a/IxW0I

Slingshot Ranger 12m $200 (Foil kite, pulls like truck, FRANKENKITE-this kite has ugly as hell patches...and one that leaks. Flyable as is but you should fix it) PICTURES: http://imgur.com/a/uZh6t (patched by previous owner)

Slingshot Rev 15m $300 (SLE, Red/White colorset, originally ?tridude?'s kite, I have done the pulley depower mod listed here http://www.nwkite.com/forums/t-7571.html some pinholes on leading edge, no tears found) When I was finally ready for this kite, it took my riding to the next level.

Liquid Force Luxury Waist harness $60 (w/spreader bar) (2009) Used 5-6x, near new, bit of grass stain. Only used this long enough to learn I wanted a waist harness. PICTURES: http://imgur.com/a/nee9u

Slingshot TurboDiesel 10m $100(Brown/Blue colorset) Old, fun. Kite-wing and lines in good shape. Leading edge tube deflate valve has separated and needs glued. PICTURES: http://imgur.com/a/m2xn8

Flysurfer Rookie2Gold 6m $Sold
Ozone Frenzy FYX 9m $Sold
Slingshot octane 5m $sold

Pictures will be taken this week as weather allows.

It's been lovely kiting with some of you but I have to find a hobby that is actually doable where I live, and that won't frustrate me to the point of tears on a regular basis.

send you private message

Certainly can be frustrating. Sorry to hear this. I hope you have a change of heart.

a bit rash, but if your spot is not delivering it can be frustrating for sure.

you still got boards?

pics added for Rookie2 6m, FYX9m, Ranger12m, and LF harness.

RedSky- It's well more than a calendar year since I had a kiteday that was successful, and did not result in damage to my equipment or myself.

Phree-no boards for sale, those are still useful to have other powered objects pull me.


I am keeping my boards & my waist harness, perhaps in the future I will ride again, but it is no longer a valid option for entertainment for me at this time.

You gotta enjoy what you do, and I've not been able to enjoy this for awhile since I've been skunked over and over and over, and I can't afford the gas for the car to get there anymore, nor can I afford to maintain my equipment.

This is a very expensive sport, and I had hoped it would get cheaper once I had a quiver, but that has not been the case, and I am no longer young enough to prioritize something that's not giving me joy.

gotcha, and maybe look into a unit like in this vid. it is always ready! never let me down. couple hours behind this thing (which phlows just like a kite!) yields serious fun. full speed powerslides took some serious gut check passes! could do snowmobile as well.

Hi there
I am interested in the fly surfer one. Send me email at elmostehi@comcast.net to discuss the details . Thanks

Great idea PHREE

@erratic winds - I haven't flown a kite since the summer. I have conceded that sessions are going to be few and far between yet I'm still as keen. I spent a few hours last weekend in the garage fine tuning the bug, making some new crazy camera mounts for it and spraying up the boards. The bug is now on standby for when the weather is just right and I'm not too tired or busy, until then I just don't sweat it. It's just not worth getting frustrated over. By all means pick a more reliable pastime but I'd have your kites on standby for when that perfect day comes along, and it will. If they're not costing you anything or taking up too much space then keep'em. Well that's what I think anyway.

Phree- since I complain about cost in my post, a suggestion to try something involving a several-hundred-dollar plus RC toy definitely falls on deaf ears, but thank you for the suggestion regardless. I was more thinking along the lines of the dog in the park by that comment.

Elmostehi- someone is in line ahead of you. if for some reason it does not work out, I will contact you.

understood E,

and this just for the listening crowd... for the cost of one new tube kite i can build 3 of the atv units , and thats new china clones at retail. used market would be even less, no electronics on these units all line control. the RC stuff only for street now that stuff is pricey!

Sold items in the post. u2u'd tracking info.

snow is preventing more photos...but coming as soon as possible.

I started skateboarding this summer for similar reasons. I don't get out nearly as much with my kites as I'd like. I've been to the skate park at least 8 times in the past 5 weeks. Now that the snow is on the ground I've been going to an indoor park and riding in the pools and bowls. Absolutely love it. Way more affordable and the conditions are always good and less crowded than a beach.

Sort of an extreme decision but obviously you have to do what is best for you.

Hope you find something rewarding that does it for you.

I've seen several of NicS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-s kites up close and they are in excellent condition-buy with confidence.
