Since I won't be able to kite again until at least next season , I’m selling my kites. One has gone, and the other one is an almost new 12m 06 model Takoon Nova, which I'll try to have available for demos at Kitestock. Look for me there (I’ll most likely be walking around with a camera and I'll make up some sort of sign and put it near my tent).

Only $1200 (I've knocked $200 off for kitestock)

I’ve never flown it, but here’s what Robbo had to say about it a few weeks ago.....


Mmmmm took this kite up to denham for a two week blitz.

If you're looking for peace of mind as a newb - such that if all goes bad you can just let go the bar and it slowly falls out of the sky with no pull what so ever (great for when you're trying tricks) then try the nova.

Great things i found about the kite:
Bar pressure is optional. If you want to have pressure pull in the bar, get some grunt and you have some bar pressure feedback. Otherwise its light as a feather.

The kite is setup such that when you fully extend your arms, the kite depowers with no pressure at all on the bar.

Its an upwind machine, in light winds i found myself taking out the nova rather than my 15m lift pro.

Most importantly - for the whole two weeks - it never ever inverted, and i only like pumping up kites to 4 -5 psi. This 7 psi business will kill your kite stitching or fabric sooner rather than later.

Anyways - you get a nice backpack bag, one pump (kite), a pump, and a nice kite.

And you will be helping a poor orphan boy from his village in Leeming to get medical attention for the next year.
