Default 2011 14m RPM used

Selling my 2011 14m RPM complete with bar for $1000

The kite has no leaks or canopy/leading edge tears/ rips. However it does have two issues that do not effect the kites performance.

The canopy is white and as a result of a hasty pack up job the white part of the canopy has fresh water stains on it. These are purely cosmetic and has not contributed to any structural damage.

the stains are visible in this picture


The other issue is that the inflation valve plug tab has torn and the plug is now not attached via the tab to the bladder. This is a result of clumsy handling. I have used the kite more times like this than without and it has never leaked nor has the valve plug malfunctioned due to the torn tab.



here are some other pics










I really enjoyed this kite as my "big kite" I am 200lbs and was able to be properly powered in 10-20 mph winds.
Here is a funny trailer my buddy made this summer of the kite on a nice 15mph day.

did not mean to be misleading. I would not be racing to the beach for 10mph but we get relatively shitty wind so 10 to 20mph is reality where I live. I guess if you averaged it out, steady 15mph would be the ideal low end of the wind for my size. Sure any kite dogs through the lulls in that range but I was never left feeling I needed a bigger kite.

15 to 25 I was on a 10m rpm
