bullet wrote: a brand new flysurfer speed retails at about £2000.00 which is about $3000.00 so I see no reason why somebody would pay $4000.00 for a second hand kite  To be clear: that is a 2002 3 line Psycho - the original, and it was Psycho to fly. The only think quite like it could be an FARC or X10. Imagine a kite appreciating in value!

Why not have some diversity in your quiver ?
You will then love both foils and inflatables, both inflatables and foils - with a passion !! ... because you will know which conditions and daily preferences invite which kite into your session.
Simple, right ?

Foils are better on snow - just roll them out and go, and they keep flying when the wind dies down and the LEIs can't fly.

Awesome...thought this was a kitesurfing forum? Hey you guys might be right about kites on the snow, but heck that doesn't help me I live in the west coast of Australia who saw snow only in the last ice age..lol.
So back to kitesurfing, anyone heard anymore on the chronic?

Don't fuck with it. If it wasn't weed, it'd have been something else. Like kiting
