15M ION at WSW

[C. Moore]

Brian Eagle called me today saying that someone has brought in a 15m ION and is willing to sell it for $1,000.00. I guess he bought it fairly recently and opted afterwards to buy something else. If anyone is intrested please call Water Sports West.

hey chris, can you buy it for me :D

[C. Moore]

Sure you know the drill. Meet Ebone on the back side in 20 minutes.

Since I am DP Danny's latest pimp, he will now perform any act for kite supplies. I of course get a cut of his action and buy his kite supplies for him. Ebone has already stepped up with dibs on DP Danny. Lets all thank Ebone for his support on DP Danny's addiction. :P

[inferno]

:?:

[E-Bone]

Man, whoever is selling a 15m Ion is smoking crack. Must be somebody who is new or just hates flat kites, because otherwise they'd have a kite boner. The 15m Ion is the shit.

Danny, I don't know what Chris is talking about, saying he is your pimp, or that I have dibs on you. Maybe he's smoking crack, too. Wait--maybe that's Chris's Ion that's for sale! What a crackhead.

Next thing Chris will sell is his Element, and then I'll have to kick him off Team Elemental.

[C. Moore]

No chance on me selling the Element, unless Techno Chic wants to trade cars for a while.

[Skyway Scott]

E-bone. I basically said your post word for word (Ask Chili :wink: ).
Just got off the phone with him. He is a strong spirited guy, and will be back riding before too long.

I told him about the return/sale of the Ion and that I said "that guy must be on crack on the forum" but that I felt I needed to delete it. Now that you said it first though, I agree.....that kite rocks. Can't wait for some crackhead somewhere to return one to this shop so I can purchase it cheap :)
Hey, you better check your Element and make sure yours isn't stolen :x
(That's a more reasonable explanation, cuz obviously the guy never flew it!)

To each his own, I guess 8)

[E-Bone]

Scott, it is good to hear that Chili's mind is in the right place. He is a great guy and no one wants to see a great guy like that get hurt. I met his brother last year on a trip to Cabarete and both he and his brother are simply outstanding, fun-loving people who are great to have around. I am glad to see that Chili's accident isn't robbing him of that spirit.

As far as the Ion is concerned, "to each his own" is right, I guess. I never want to dis on someone for having different tastes than I do regarding which kite to ride. I was just surprised to see someone wanting to dump an Ion.

[inferno]

i admit, the ion's mine, im trading it in to upgrade to an 02 12m fuel and an 04 5m grunt, im stoked, i hear the two line grunt has an awsome range and the SS turns like a mosquito!!!!!!!

If you can guess the number of cylinders she has, I may let you drive her.
(yes, that's a trick question)

[toby wilson]

ZERO!!! Now do I get to drive it Technochick? :lol: :P :lol:

[Optionryder420]

What is it? A mazda rx8/rx7/cosmo(that was the other mazda rotary from the 70's right?)?

[Technochick]

D'Oh! You only know that because I told you :P

Yes, I'll let you drive her Toby. The only problem may be your height. Anyone over 6' 1" has a head-room issue. I have to open the sun roof for one freind that's 6' 7".

It's a Mazda RX8

[bryanleighty]

give me a 6 mile headstart and i'll race you..... 6.5 miles.


my hubcaps keep falling off my jetta .. i think my car is faster because of it.

[C. Moore]

I thought Mitas had 4 Cylinders.... :)

My last accident was with a Jetta.

[bryanleighty]

Was that you that did the hit n' run on my car?

[Technochick]

It wasn't a hit and run. He stopped and helped me pick up my bike ... and burnt his leg on my exhaust http://bestsmileys.com/lol/10.gif


Somebody should buy that ION while we're hijacking this thread!

[toby wilson]

I MAY!!! 8)

[inferno]

toby, dont you have enough kites?????

[toby wilson]

NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The ION would primarily be for Amber...her every day kite. I was gonna just let her fly my older kites but if I can get a good deal and maybe trade a couple of my kites in, why not?

[toby wilson]

Does anyone have John from Watersports West's cell phone #???

[JoshTaylor]

Does anyone have John from Watersports West's cell phone #???PM'd you it.

[Skyway Scott]

Is that kite still there? Geez :roll:
If it is there tomorrow morning, it is gone by the afternoon. (I don't care about the heat I will catch) That was a good price and I can't get hold of one (sold out here)

[inferno]

hey scott
whats the forecast look like for sat over there, im thinking of heading to the east coast to try some wave riding/jumping.

[toby wilson]

Scottie, you can fly mine when we ride together!!! :shock: :D

Sorry bro... :wink:

[Skyway Scott]

Shattered dreams and cavier turds!!
Danny, I don't know. Not so hot I think. Let's look again in a few days and see. Donna is coming for 5 days :)

[BigR]

Na na na na na!


I get to go to the Oregon coast in 2 weeks for two weeks of wave riding in 20-30 knts!

Na na na na na! :D :lol:

[BigR]

Danny, the forecast is gonna be much better over here sat and sun than over there

East winds 10-15 kts for us! LOL Scott!

:mrgreen:

[Skyway Scott]

If you guys get east, won't we?

I don't really care at the moment, all I need is 10 to buggy over some poor tourist 8) :shock:

[Skyway Scott]

Hmmm... just checked the forecast. We got 15+ predicted for four days in a row. Sounds good to me. Where do you get your forecasts again?
I hope it happens. We got alot of stuff to demo (too much, IMO :o )

[E-Bone]

Need wind....(gasp)...

[BigR]

Tropical wave pushing thru southern tip of FL should give us some wind....

that accuweather is funky, it gives st. auggy 10-15 for the weekend, mymami 14-16 and st.petey 11-15

Hopefully everyone will get some wind

personally I use the marine forecasts

Hey the Keys and miami are looking the windiest this july fourth weekend; any ideas?

[bono]

I'm the guy who sold the Ion - I've been advised by quite a few people with experience that this was a bad move, but like EBone said, "to each his own".

Speaking of Ebone, you & Alex helped me launch that kite one day at Ft DeSoto (I appreciate the help & the adivce - you guys are money!).

I'm new & I dont havemuch experience, but I like the feel of the other 2 kites I have (Naish) & am replacing the Ion with a Contra - hopefully it will be a decent move.

Anyone have any opinion on the 14 Contra?

[BigR]

I have heard people say that it is one badass kite

http://www.kiteforum.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=2329264

I myself am selling my 12M and 16M Crossbow to get the new 14M and 17M Contra kites

[E-Bone]

bono, it'z all about being happy with your quiver, so if you like your Ion's replacement better, then you are better off without the Ion. Having met you that day with Alex, I am glad to report to the forum that this is certainly not a crack-influenced sale.

good luck, bono, and I will see you on the beach.

[bono]

Ebone - cool & thanks

I'm always learning & will give newbie opinion on the Contra when I get it.

I'll be out there bustin' my ass this weekend.

I'm moving to Eastern Germany (Dresden) so if anyone comes through the area & needs a place to stay, let me know - its about 1.5 hours south of Berlin & 2 hours north of Prague - great, cheap beer (even though its warm)

[Skyway Scott]

John,

Don't take my comments too seriously. The contra is a great lightwind kite, no questions. I tend to exaggerate with words like CRACKHEAD... BONER BRAINS.. etc... too try to get a laugh. :D

As Bayflite often says "ALL kites kickass" 8)
Now boards.. well... lemme tell ya' a stor..... (Daryl just came in)

[bono]

naw - its all good!!

I've never been accused of being overly smart

how the saying go? ingnorance is bliss..... :?

i'm just having a good time playing

[bono]

DAMN!

I spell like a 6 year old

[toby wilson]

Bono,

Thanks for the gr8 deal on the ION and noone thinks you are crazy for selling it. Like you said, each to their own...

So you have decided you are DEFINITELY moving to Germany? Pretty cool... I'll have to visit with my Czech friend, we were already planning a trip in about a year to the Czech Republic!!!

It was cool to meet you and hope to see you at EB this Saturday!!!

[bryanleighty]

Toby!

Great buy w/ the ION.. I really think you are going to see a major progression immediately.

Is this area a Flexi ripe spot or what??

Wow... I felt like I was going w/ the trends by picking up a Waroo.. now I feel like a outcast, sideshow freak.. ha!

[inferno]

Toby!

dont worry, if all goes well i will have one in a week or so, and mine gonna have pink on it!!!!
only its gonna be a nine so ill need about 20knots before i start riding it

if it overlaps my 14m enought im going to sell the 14 and get a 5m so im ready for the hurricanes, im talking 40+ knots :shock:
then ill have a 5m 9m 17m and a 21m :D

[amber]

The new ion looks awesome...Bono takes VERY good care of his kites....can anyone say OCD? jk. seriously though, I MIGHT let Toby right it... :wink:

in the meantime, hopefully it will give me a quick learning curve and I'll be out there riding with the big kids soon. (I'm really getting sick of the backside. I'm too paranoid to play out there yet..) when is it gonna blow from the other way???)

[E-Bone]

Saturday morning. Dawn Patrol. Get up at 5:15 am, charge if buoy is 17 or above. Get to north Skyway by 5:45 to 6:00 a.m., on the water by 6:15 or so. That is my plan.

The early bird almost always get the east session at the Skyway. I am not afraid to say it and give away the secret, because no one ever gets their asses out of bed anyhow.

This only goes for me.

[toby wilson]

I rode the ION today, so did Bryan L. until the wind died, then a nice long walk!!! I need a few more knots before I can make up my mind as to whether I like it so Saturday will probably be the test.

Amber, what do you mean you will 'let' me ride it??? I bought the darn thing!!! :roll: :P :twisted:

Eric, don't bother telling her to wake up at anytime before noon on a weekend...it won't happen...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...while I'm riding!!! :D
