4.9m Flexifoil Blade IV - - demo kite for PKF members


Hello,

Is anyone interested in trying out a new 4.9m Flexifoil Blade IV?

Same deal as the Pansh and Brooza program. No lines or handles - just the kite?

I was thinking we could limit it to the first 5 people (within US) at first. The kite will be here from Flexi in a few days.

Sound good? Just let me know if you want it and we'll start the list :thumbup:

I'll give it a go, DaVinch. I'm in the market for a larger kite and would love to try out the Blades before investing.

Thanks!

No problem Justin. Maybe we can do a 6.5m BIV next time. That would be a good one to test out next to your 600.

A 6.5 would be even better:spin: Although the wind will be picking back up here soon so that 4 will be perfect to take a spin with.

Much appreciated!

The Blade IV's are pretty sweet kites, I've had a go on a 8.5m in 8-12mph winds, easy to fly, well mannered, nothing like the on/off performance from blades gone by, Somehow they've totally smoothed out the handling of the kite without loosing it's lift and pull. You guys should like the 4m.

I am such a junkie now. I just can't pass up the chance to experience a new and different kite. I'll take the next spot on the 4 if you extend it further, or I would be thrilled to get on the early list for the 6.5. I should be getting some winds in another month or so.

Thanks for your philanthropy,

I just found out I can fly tridude's 6.5 next weekend so I can bow out of the blade try-outs. I still want to stay on the list for the Brooza and the Ace. The 6.5 blade is more appropriate if I were to ( oh no not again) get another kite since I currently have a 3m and soon to be 2-5m kites. If I do get another kite beyond the Crossfire 5 I think I would like to step up to a flexi. Thanks again.

Well, shoot, if Treble also lets me use his Ace 5.0, we could skip me on the Pass the Pansh list. Would that work with you, Herb? If so, I'll let Khooke know since he's about to ship me the Ace after the SOBB.
