Flexi bails out of UK


Wow, trying to get a simple fix for my Sabre having been told Flexi did put a fix out it now seems that everything goes to Belgium. Flexi wants me to send it to them and then to Belgium where I will be taxed to death with the UK Vat for a fix they handed out on the beaches and at events. So for two stopper balls and a small extension for one bridle line its going to cost me 58.15 British pounds :IE: $109.70 Canadian.
This has sure changed my thoughts on ever purchasing a Flexi product again.....bummer:thumbdown:

Wow, sorry to hear about that. Are you going to get the fix???

You might try and reach John with powerzone (here on the forum as powerzone, or at powerzonekitesports.com) to see if he has something that might work for you. I would bet that he does.

I'd also drop in on the flexi forum. Someone there might know exactly how long/strong the extension is, and where to insert it. The plastic balls can be had at a sail shop. If you are up for it, I can send you a link to show how to splice the line for a nice finish. Good luck.
