"Can lift up to 80kg" - Are they talking about the strength of the lines?

And speaking of the lines, are they normal kite lines? From the looks of things in the photo it's just rope

The Wepika Free air was the 2nd kite wepika made, it could be a great collectors item and might be worth something in the future to the collectors that might be out there. Wepika was the first kite boarding company. Just a thought nothing more.

If you check it out then take a few seconds to "report the item"
If enough do it they may do something about it.Theres few options - I clicked the dangerous & hazardous option.

Really? Collectors item? I assume this is your kite then?!

Its not dangerous if they don't use a harness i guess.

My first kite was a 4 line 5m foil kite, not dangerous at all, however my foil was on 2 handles, not a bar and had safety leashes attached to wrist, instantly depowered when i let go...this may not.

Someone is going to buy it, get some lessons, then re-sell it when they realise what a piece of S$%t this is.

Oh man,
I just threw one of these out in the curb-side pick up.
Convertible 4 line or 2 line, no quick release on the chicken loop and minimal depower (none in 2 line mode)
It was an awesome learners kite,.... except for the time it dragged me up the beach, through the rocks, stopping only when it tore in half on a tree.
Ahh, good times

Can't believe someone paid $280 for that.
