Madoldlad Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Thought I'd post this and if anyone else has comments etc please add. So I had always wanted to try a quad kite and a while ago I pushed the button and bought a Rev EXP from kite world in the UK ( excellent service by the way). I have thoroughly enjoyed using the exp. I wanted to buy a vented rev for the winter it gets blowy on the east coast round me. So I started looking around . I don't want to pay the price of a rev vented...I can't afford to. So I started looking round for other options and suppliers. Anyone who's done this knows how limited this choice / availability is in the uk. I ended up buying a big vents kite from https://www.feine-drachen.de an excellent price, great and quick service and a cracking product , Roger is great to deal with .I am still just starting out and this flys well with my very limited capabilities. Been out in 20 mph and its flown well. Anyone else have suggestions on places / options to buy right across the price spectrum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunduki Vlieger Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Hi! Roger is always is good place to start if you want a Quad for little money. He has just introduced a new line called ENDOR. When you don't necessarily need a new quad and want to shop more price-consciously: The ”Börse” in the German kite forum is a reputable source for second hand kites: https://www.drachenforum.net/boerse/ You can also leave a ISO in English there. You could, for example, look for a used KQK. Very high quality, excellent flight characteristics, Made in Germany and available from SUL to Extra Vented. https://www.korvokites.de/index.php/de/vierleiner/kqk If you are interested in an STD, I am also selling two Quads: Rev 1.5 JB and Rev 1.5 Super Leading Edge.

There are quite a few good festivals in your area, Lytham St Annes being well worth a visit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madoldlad Posted January 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 thanks for the help. Two good very local festivals at Bridlington and Filey this year. Lytham is a fair trek but might make an effort to visit Thanks for the information👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
