My Comments:
Beginner Question, I live in S.A down south Ive been looking to get my self into this sport Ive been looking around for the best deals. And came across a deal with Adventure Blue for a demo 2009 Airush Flow kite with a board for $2195 + I will get a full course program thrown in valued at $595. Now my question is is that a good deal, good kite for a beginner and has anyone had good results from this school? Any feed back would be great cheers!

What size ?, If its a 10 or 12m offer them $1750 max for kite & board, its now obsolete but the Flow is a great kite, ive got an 08 and an 09, bombproof quality, easy to fly, very forgiving, nice bar pressure.

Obselete? thats a bit strong for a 2009 kite in 2009, I have heard airrush may not be continuing with the flow in 2010, but that doesn't render the 09 flow obselete.

Castanza I'm not sure what size kite their offering or what type of board, but $2200 for a kite/board/and lessons is a good deal. I'm not saying you couldn't do better by picking up your gear on special, but it is definatly a fair price. The lessons is gravy!
I have never flown a flow, but from what I know about them I think this kite would be suitable for a beginner.

Bennie, you took me a bit too literally, i just meant 09 gear will be replaced very soon with 2010 gear. I just picked up an as new (literally used once) 09 Flow FT 12m complete for $750, absolute bargain but Ive seen others for sale for around $1200.

The 08 Flow is a great kite, if I could get my hands on a new 08 10m, I'd buy it.

When/where is the 2010 Airush Lithium ??????

$750 for a nearly new kite is an awesome price. Was that from a store or private purchase? I wish I could find 09 kites that cheap, most people want 12-1500 for a kite that's had a seasons use.

Thanks for the replys! I went down and had a better look at the kite because it was a demo. But as we pulled it out is was new not even unwraped with tags all over it.Its a 12m and the board is a airush X-pact 09 new aswell.But its not for 750 big ones thats for sure Ill buy it of ya for $760 I would have to get myself a harness not sure about whats decent or what? second or new? Any ideas out there?
