I HATE to say it, but getting burned on your first kite purchase is almost a right of passage. Its so wrong I know, but your not alone. We have all been there.
Well many text and calls no response from the bastard :/ suprise suprise!! looks like I did get it with no lube.
I'd love not to sell these but can't really afford not to maybe recoup something so I can afford something decent in the next couple months
If anyone did have some old kite they hook me up with I be most grateful and happily burn these SOB
Thank you all for the advice and the laughs through this rough learning experience, it was all appreciated!
I forsee I'll be around more!
you can still advertise these, but use your new knowledge and advertise them more honestly...
"older kites for experienced kiter for ****s n giggles." you might get some money back, but not all.
well just make sure you learn how to edge properly, really quickly.
Technology (and how safe, stable, useable a kite is) has vastly improved since the old rhinos, but man they boosted well.
That is the concern the guys above are really getting at.
But a lot us flew them back then, some learned on them (the ones late to the party). I just hope you are an athletic watermen (and slightly nuts) unlike 90 percent of people I see learning the sport who should be playing lawn bowls.
and freeze...I feel violated you critiqued another mans post...
Hmmmmm, even the best slip on the odd occasion sir.
