Good luck. I have a buddy that has been trying to find anything in punk for months, and has found only 2 for sale. Both were in England and neither
were willing to ship to the states. They are so rare that a flexi dealer I talked to had never even heard of them, and he has been in the sport for
years. I don't blame you for wanting one- that is one of the coolest color schemes I have ever seen.
Aim low. Reach your goals, and avoid disappointment.
When I went looking none of the stateside dealers had any. It was how I first ended up calling Angus. FF only had a few baby Stings (1.2 quads) and
Stackers (6 & 8) left in PUNK.
I ended up getting a 2.4 in Petrol, but snagged the 1.2 just for the color. Wish they would have a reissue of PUNK and Midnight....sigh.
Funny, the reason that I just sold off my 4m Access is because I found one with a custom (or at least special) grey/PINK/black color scheme that I
wanted to buy. Its the only one I've ever seen in this color scheme.
That's how I got my PunS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-d Rage... had to order it through a FF dealer.
That color scheme was a limited production, with Pink as the main color. A portion of the proceeds from each kite was donated to the UK Cancer
Research.
Hope you liked that video, unfortunately we ran out of time when shooting, the last kite on the schedule was a 12m Sabre in Punk colours which is
pretty rare so I am told...
Its on my list to video next, so when its done I'll post...
Might just be easier to fill Flexifoil's Inbox with requests
Some of the current color schemes I would have no qualms about losing, in favor of Punk, Midnight, Black & Gold.
Seem to recalls UK shipping for a 3.5 being fairly princely (and it was a pretty compressed)... not sure much is going to be saved on the 1.7
shipping.
Yeah the 2 my buddy found were both in the UK and neither seller was willing to ship over here. The shipping for my cent was like $50-60 and it got
here fast. Anything cheaper comes via ocean freight and takes like a month. I support the e-mail barrage idea. Out of all the big kite co.'s, flexi
seems to be one of the more responsive.
Aim low. Reach your goals, and avoid disappointment.
So I just rang up Flexi to see what they had kicking around in Punk. They think they have some Stackers and small size Stings. After they are done
with shipments for the day, they are going to rummage around the warehouse and let me know. give it a few hours...

When I hit them up last year, that was pretty much all they had then too.
The Stackers, I believe will be 6s... maybe 8s.
The smaller Stings will be 1.2s, not 1.7s or 2.4s unless they have been conducting illicit experiments.
Still wouldn't mind one, if the shipping was reasonable.
Given the original response they got to the Punks and the fact that the second run pretty much flew off the shelves... I am kind of befuddled by their
reticence to push the "Punk" button again.
Ohhh.... maybe they'll slip and nudge the "Midnight" button by accident..... dare to dream. :singing:
Samba, Rasta, and Acid are less than inspired (IMHO). The Black/Gold and Flo-Green/Gray Bullets were gorgeous as were the Purple/Gray Blades.
there is a sting 1.7 i believe for sale on flexiforums for 100 pounds sterling.
