Peter Lynn Charger 12m complete $499
Peter Lynn Charger 2010, complete with navigator bar and bag. very good shape with 2 sets of alloy sticks. I used to fly all peter lynns but switched
to inflatables soon after I bought this, so it didn't get much use. I kept it for snowkiting, but I hate the cold. basically hasn't been used in at
least 3 years. There was very little wind when I took the pics, so the kite wasn't very inflated..

I am in school and only get money at the beginning of the semester but I am super interested.
Not going to ask you to wait around but I will definitely buy this if it is still available January 10th when my financial aid kicks in for the
semester.

Hey sorry, just wanted to communicate.
I think I am going to go for a bigger size when I get the money. I am sure someone else will pick up this awesome deal before January though.

How well does a kite like this depower? the only twinskin I have flown was a guerilla II and it felt like a c-kite. I have been thinking of getting a
closed cell foil for light wind foil boarding... would something like this work?

Depends on the bar. The Charger has gobs of depow, way more than the old Guerilla 2 but you have to have a long throw. The Navigator series had a
lot better throw than say the '04 or '07 bars did. Although if you added a longer throw to those bars they work fine.
With the right bar it's one of the best depowering kites out there. Even now IMO.

You will be pleased with the depower on the new arcs. 12m however isn't the size I would suggest as a low wind kite. The Charger still had a real C
kite feel.
Something like an earlier model Speed in light material might be a better choice for a good light wind foil board kite on a budget?

Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.

Blade is right. The 12m is a fantastic kite in anything but low wind and even in the 19m range it won't be as user friendly in light wind foil
boarding as something higher ARnand more efficient like a Speed. If $ constraints are tight an older Matrixx 15m would be a close second option.

ARCs deliver too much grunt for a foil and don't have the low end you'd want either. On the other hand depower of later ARCs is much better than on
their older models so it's a great toy to own for a twintip.

Mood: Choosing your new depower foil quiver is hard...

Which bar do you have for this? I might be interested... My 19m arc just scares me as I'm not used to arcs... This might be better for getting used to
them
