Re: Rant alert! my god! who the hell can afford kite equipment

I do not agree at all. Recently I’ve seen ads of shops that discount last seasons kite up to 60%, also you can find second hand kites for very decent price. Of course price is definitely different if you want a brand new 2024 model, then be ready to pay it… I was referring to brand new 2024 retail ...

Re: R1 V4 vs Chrono V4

Regarding Chrono V1 and V2. I owned both of these kites in 15 and 18m sizes. The depower range was limited and they are terrible in gusty wind. That is why I didn’t even try a V3. A friend let me try the R1 V4 13m and I jumped 21m in the first session without even trying. i also tried the v1 chrono...

LOL - the only thing to add. Local used stuff is so cheap. if you live in florida or the gorge maybe. in smaller markets it is more challenging. although recently, a local kiter was going thru a divorce. his wife put his stuff on facebook marketplace and sold a few things for pennies on the dollar ...
