Would Like Review on New Concept Air Freestyle?   Message List

Re: Would Like Review on New Concept Air Freestyle?

Mark,

I am in Calgary and I have several JoJos for sale. All in mint
condition: RM 6.0, Instinct 4.0 and Instinct 2.5, 2002, flown only
couple of times. 6.0 on handles, 4.0 and 2.5 are on handles AND bar
(have both, including two bridle sets - for 4 line on handles and 3
lines on the bar). Bars, handles, lines, bags, all included

The reason I am selling is that I have decided to spend some money
and switch to Flysurfer completely. I want the exactly same kites in
all the sizes all year around, on snow, ice, water, grass... Same
handling..

If you are using those exclusivelty on the snow, JoJos are really
great. Open ram-air, very fast and very controllable. Great for
cruising (I am not a jumper, but my son is).

I owned Flexi Blade and Concept Air New Waves (among other brands of
foils). JoJo is a very good kite! And in terms of money the price on
a "used" new kite(s) in mint condition will be very competiteve. Just
send me email at aaL111 at yahoo.com, i.e. aaL111@... if
interested.
