Hey guys, I had a 1 on 1 kite lesson with Jason from SurfFX in January and I wanna get a kite to get my kite skills up. I've wakeboarded for years so I'm hoping once I work a kite alright I'll be able to at least start teabagging on one of my wakeboards. If I cant get up and moving I'll go get a board lesson with Jase but I dont wanna waste lesson time learning how to control a kite when all I need is practice. So, long story short ;) anyone looking to sell a 2006-2008 kite 10-13m complete? Not knowing too much about the brands and models, I'm only going on what I've seen riding in front of mine at 23rd Ave Palmy and either North or Cabrinha seem to be the forerunners right?

Cheers,

Travis

I like the red ones, they go faster

Seriously tho, I'm keen as to get one, so if anybody is looking to sell, please let me know here or PM me.

Cheers,

Travis

Yeah I know, I have trolled over there for 3 weeks. Most ads for 2006-2007 kites are from pre August 2007 and are probably already sold. I was hoping to catch someone's eye who hasnt been bothered to put up an ad yet :) also to get a bit of advice on what I should actually be looking for... (I'm 6'3" 80kg by the way)

Well when I get capable, I will be kiting in front of my place at 23rd ave Palm Beach on the Gold Coast. Preferrably $800 would be my budget for the kite (complete) and harness. That would allow me a spare $200 to get a board lesson from Surf FX if need be..

Hahahha Maccas trays!

Neither of my boards are kite boards sure, but I have done some Macgyver work to an old pair of wake bindings that has made them slip on and quite similar to kite bindings. I showed my instructor Jason and he reckoned it would be alright to ride on. I'm sure that as I progress I'll end up buying a board but I'm not gonna turn up at the beach with $3000 of brand new gear that I dont know how to ride, looking like a kook Baby steps my friend... baby steps. Thanks heaps for the advice tho hey, I didnt realise harnesses were so much!

13m Fuel Slingshot 2006
13m Ozone Sport 2007
12m Eclipse Thruster 2007
13.5m Wipika Matrix 2007
12m DNA Airush 2007

These are a few in the ballpark pricerange that have been advertised in here or PM'd to me. I have only ever heard of the Slingshot one...

What are the thoughts on those ones?

DAM air rush dont hold there value well??

Nah mate you could still swap it for a Maccas tray or something of equal value... do you want fries with that?

$850 for 3 months used 2-3 times a week works out to about $23-$35 bucks a sesh... still good value any day. Cheaper than a night on the slops and leaves you feeling only half as sore.

Welcome to the Goldy crew
Just go in to Surf Fx - they set me up when I began, Jason is an awesome dude and wont bullsh1t you. They have plenty of good kites - not some of the crap you have been recommended here.

Thanks for the welcome nicnak, I'm looking forward to getting out there big time! I was gonna head in to Surf FX and get sorted but I really wanted to get an idea on prices 2nd hand before going and paying retail prices for 2nd hand gear. In no way will I be buying new gear, its just too expensive and in 6 months its worth half what you paid... I just need to narrow down to a kite brand and type and go for it!

I ended up getting a Cabrinha 2008 Revolver HD 11m. Had a go on saturday and am a little bit in love with it :D So are my mates and they now are keen to get something. Thanks for the advice guys, I'll keep an eye on the Buy & Sell for my mates now.

Cheers,
Travis
