Why? Too old?

Why? Too old?

Yea, in a nutshell, a lot of money for an old kit. im guessing '07 or '08 please correct me if im wrong. Good kite in the day but had its day, could justify the price a little more if the kite was bigger but its only a 7m, though i would love to see that board out there, psychedelic!! Im also hoping it comes with a bar as well as 'strings'

ive still got that kite in an 8.5! i used it twice and ended up buying a 12m bow kite about a month later. those things were no good for beginners.. Its still in my shed somewhere, i pulled it out about a year ago and its still crispy! ill have to give it a crack one day to see how she flies, i remember it being really fast....

Empty six pack or do you want them with beer too?

I had a good chuckle the other day when I saw a couple of guys walking back upwing in about 25kts with their SS link, and pickle fork board. I was keeping an eye out to see if they were going to head out again, but disappointingly they packed up and headed home.

why the chuckle?
DID YOU RIDE ONE?
i rode the 7 and the 9 and they were fine, especially the 7
even by todays standards

The kite's worth $50 as an investment for future collectability - if in mint condition & complete.
I would have guessed 03-04 model.
The board - well a shop wouldn't give you $100 trade on it.

Also the safety will be fairly primitive - ie no real safety. "Depower" that drops 20% of the power, and maybe a wrist leash, which were prone to popping off your wrist (better than breaking it I suppose).

Done - send the beer, and I'll send the kites back in the box!
