I have about 5 old kites that I would never sell for public safety issues (including an original Cabrinha CO2 2 line).. Any ideas how we can recycle or use these old babies?

I have a 14m CO2 Recon II Kite that Im looking to get rid of and a 6.6m CO2 Cabrinah about the same vintage....

Both hold air and Both have bar and lines....

Where is the best place to sell them off?

The 14m isnt bad for beginners (I learned on it) and the 6.6m is small enough to "play with"

There is a place you can send them to and they make them into a jacket for you.

A Friend passed a 14m (or was it 15?) SS Fuel I think its pretty old as well. No bar. Leaking strut too. I never had the chance to unwrap it. Would be cool to make it into a sorta kite beach bag or something (and yeah a jacket/windbreaker would be nice too)

it's up for grabs btw...
