Old Foils

[trailtow]

so my cousin gave me this bag about a year ago said it was some of his old kites from back in the day early 2000's I think they are ram air foils, F-one is the brand and i think possibly the stw model? they are two line kites prety crazy when you see how much things have progressed over the years. I was wondering if it is at all possible to re-do the bridle system so i can make it a 4 line? here is a pic of the bigger of the two kites he gave me, not the best pic is dark and rainging out will get better pics tomorrow, also in relation to size the kite is about 10 feet long or so

It can be done but you won't get the out come your looking for. If it's your first kite or you want it for training then get rid of it. Do you know what size it is? It's called the F-one Shadow and came in a 4m, 5m, 7m and 9m. The 9m was a truck and wasn't the best. The 7m was the best and most useful. They have a pretty small wind range and there is a reason we used to say that we were on the F-one swim team. Ride away and swim back. Was a cool kite for the time. If it is the 7m and you decide to get rid of it, let me know. I have the 9m that I fly once in a while for kicks.

I have a 7 meter that has been completely tuned up by F-One.
I bought it new in 1999 and they fixed it for me in 2004 and it has sat in my closet since.
Maybe it's time to fly it again... Super old school!
PS- the one in the pic above looks like a 9 meter. I think only the 9 got that color scheme

didn't get back home till late today had a lot of stuff to d. but took some pics of the other kite, is smaller maybe 5 or 7 m. Not really gonna use it for everday riding just to throw up and mess with a bit. i have a 9m C rrd kite and use our clubs kites when winds are not right for it.
