People would probably trip out if you called it an Eighty! pdxmonkeyboy Since 16 May 2006 6081 Posts forever labled as the retired kiter & motorhead Unicorn Master Tue Feb 24, 09 1:08 pm     I sent the seller a question asking him if it was likely that I could hurt myself with that kite. Stringer, that is some funny shit. surfboy1968 Since 17 Jun 2008 224 Posts south padre island Stoked Tue Feb 24, 09 1:10 pm     I like the question,"I heard Fuels are great kites. Will i end up hurting myself on this kite" kyle.vh Since 11 Jul 2007 713 Posts city of angels Addicted Tue Feb 24, 09 1:18 pm     would this be a good kite for me to learn on? pdxmonkeyboy Since 16 May 2006 6081 Posts forever labled as the retired kiter & motorhead Unicorn Master Tue Feb 24, 09 1:54 pm     kyle.vh wrote: would this be a good kite for me to learn on? Kyle, it wouldn't be a good kite for you to learn on but an 02 or 03 fuel would be an excellent kite for snow kiting. Especially if it is icy and gusty.

I have an "Eighty" in my garage that's probably about the same age, with bar and lines, and I'll let it go for $40. But only because I like you! I also have an ancient 12m Fuel and a 3-line F1 (collectors item!). Make me an offer. Not that kind of offer. _________________ Lets FLY pdxmonkeyboy Since 16 May 2006 6081 Posts forever labled as the retired kiter & motorhead Unicorn Master Tue Feb 24, 09 3:47 pm     I actually would like to try the 80 out for skate kiting. Could be some serious fun. Especially if I could find a shackle system for it.

I'll throw it in the car the next time I think we might collide _________________ Lets FLY Gman Since 11 Feb 2006 4911 Posts Portland Unstrapped Tue Feb 24, 09 4:36 pm     I'll trade a 140 for a nice 80 - The Naish 5.5 is the shizzle for Sk8kite we will have a BRING OUT YER DEAD night at Sauvies (if they survive our Spring sk8kite sessions) _________________ Go Deep! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eu2pBpQolKE FlyDunes Since 09 Oct 2007 1034 Posts Aloha XTreme Poster Tue Feb 24, 09 4:38 pm     Gman wrote: I'll trade a 140 for a nice 80 - The Naish 5.5 is the shizzle for Sk8kite we will have a BRING OUT YER DEAD night at Sauvies (if they survive our Spring sk8kite sessions) Sounds good to me. I have three old zombie kites than need to eat some flesh instead of sitting in the garage. _________________ Lets FLY tinyE Since 21 Jan 2006 2004 Posts not really an XTreme Poster Tue Feb 24, 09 4:51 pm     sadly, i'm still kiting with said dead...        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
