I might be interested...

What's the low and high end of the kite (for 175 lb rider)?
Where are those pinholes from?

I don't really have an explanation for them, the pinholes just appeared one day. I was wrapping the kite up and someone noticed them so I cut some round pieces of sail tape and patched both sides. I think they probably came from wrapping the kite up in the grassy area of the backside of the North Skyway exit. There are several sticks and other debris there.

The highest winds I would fly this kite in would be 16MPH. I am 6'6" tall and 260 lbs. So I would guess that you could hold it down in about 13-14MPH. The least wind I ever flew it in was in about 9MPH but Steve Sadler flew it in about 7 once (Steve is about 160 lbs).

let's just cut it up and make clothing out of it! Could probably make a whole wardrobe for 5 kiteboarders

The Ebay auction ended without getting my reserve price of $550 for the kite. I will let it go complete...kite, bar, lines, bag for $500 if there are any takers.
