After getting my Speed3 21m, I have to sell my old beloved SA2.
This is the SA2.5 with the second generation skytex fabric. Original carbon bar, and FDS installed.
Great condition, with two repairs. A 40" tear on the top skin, after landing kite on a turtle nest marker, very unnoticeable professional repair.
Second one, is a ~2 inch tear in one of the internal tensioner straps. None of the repairs have any effect on the flight of the kite.
Kite flies perfectly, flying from 4kts....riding with a door from 6, and jumping high from 10...I set the mixer a bit towards stability. No porosity
issues. All lines, and mixer still in great condition. Just changed depower line on bar, to a thicker amsteel with a core.
This kite is still the killer for ultra lightwind, the only kite that can even compete is the Speed3 21. Without this kite, all summer would've been
unkitable.
Bump for a kite that makes you want to pawn all of your electronics just to own.Kamikuza - 16-1-2011 at 05:26 PM
Looks like it has FDS in the pic too - good selling point
Say, how does it compare to the S3 21?tridude - 16-1-2011 at 05:33 PM
bought my 12m S2 from S............buy with confidence...............you ole rascal.........................didnt realize you had one of
these.............................the 21 SA3 was a reactionary design due to the power and performance of the 19m SA2 vs lack of on the 19m
SA3..............the only kite Ive flown that comes close on low end is the 13m EH Ovando..............
great kite and seller.........................syuzhak - 16-1-2011 at 07:43 PM
Glad you enjoyed the 12m!
The 21m feels very similar to the old 19m, but with all cons eliminated. More direct turning, more depower, more pop, basically same amount of low-end
but a more fun kite. Def a great kite made even better, and old SA2 19m is better than the new Speed3 19.Kamikuza - 16-1-2011 at 09:41 PM
Mmm ... so I better start saving my pennies (or yennies) for the 21 then huh Feyd - 17-1-2011 at 09:26 AM
jeeeze Kami, get some help man.dylanj423 - 17-1-2011 at 10:19 AM
somebody please buy this freakin kite... its killing me in the back of my mindvan - 17-1-2011 at 03:08 PM
Dylan.. buy it !! buy it!! that way I can borrow it ...hahaha ...:frog:dylanj423 - 17-1-2011 at 06:21 PM
i was really close, then i remembered that i really like the intensity of kitesurfing... and there isnt much intensity sub 15mph....for that my 19m
arc is fine.... under that and landboarding is my go-to kitesport....
... it was a close one, though...
bump to sell before i change my mindtridude - 17-1-2011 at 06:30 PM
this kite totally redefines 10 to 15mph......................go fast jump high.................stetson05 - 17-1-2011 at 09:41 PM
in about 10mph on land in grass I am getting overpowered on my 2.5 at my skill level. On the beach at about 8mph on the packed sand I was going too
fast for comfort again for my skill level. I almost never fly overpowered though. To whoever gets this it is the ultimate low wind kite. It will
redefine your low wind days.Houston AirHead - 17-1-2011 at 10:09 PM
I second that stetson, i just flew
the 17 1.5 in about 8mph.
I cant imagine the performance
19 meters of skytex fabric brings, must
be balls to the wall mind-blowing
Fun:shocked2:kitesurfer - 18-1-2011 at 12:52 PM
any chance you might give a good review on the new 21? one that would convince me that i NEED it?kitesurfer - 18-1-2011 at 01:14 PM
oh yea, i just sent you an email on this kite. i'm in jacksonville. if i buy it, will you tteach me to fly it? i had a 15.5 Psycho back 10 years
ago and hated it, mainly i guess because i never learned it. my arcs were too easy.tridude - 18-1-2011 at 03:12 PM
KS,
This is a gentle giant and nothing like the 1st generation Psycho...........................tell you what, meet you at Jekyll and I'll show you how to
fly it..............................you are about to redefine low end in your quiver.............................
we can do a 19m SA2.5 vs 13m Ovando test.........tridude - 18-1-2011 at 03:17 PM
again, there are no negatives on this kite..................................like Ive stated before buy it and if you dont like it or it doesnt deliver
as stated, Ill buy it at your cost:duh::duh:
offer still stands....................macboy - 18-1-2011 at 03:33 PM
When we had our meet-up here the wind was almost so light you could hardly feel it on the back of your neck. The GPS still logged me over 30 km/h.
This kite may not get used much but when it's "the right kite" its surreal.Kamikuza - 18-1-2011 at 06:44 PM
Surreal, yes that's the word!kitesurfer - 19-1-2011 at 10:39 AM
what does this mean?
Sa 2.5
second generation skytex fabric.
FDS
I'm assuming they are upgrades maybe? FDS --not suretridude - 19-1-2011 at 02:29 PM
FDS is the full depower system or 5th line safety...................deploy safety, kite folds in half and falls out of the sky. Skytex is the material
the kite is made from.....................just a whisker heavier than the original siberfil material but more durable...................
dude you're about to drop a grand, do some research.......................................syuzhak - 19-1-2011 at 05:11 PM
Tridude, big thanks for answering the questions!
Why did you sell all of your flysurfers?!?

:o
riding alone honestly gets old..................honestly, who rides in 8....you need a door and SA
also I like the quick turning of tubes especially riding waves and strapless..........kitesurfer - 20-1-2011 at 11:08 AM
mark it SOLD macboy - 20-1-2011 at 12:13 PM
You're now set for ALL wind conditions. Congrats!kitesurfer - 6-12-2011 at 06:06 AM
THIS KITE IS FOR SALE! i thoroughly enjoyed this kite all last summer. I got 22 sessions on it where my Charger would not begin to play. For my 205
lbs, 8 mph was my minimum for staying up wind. the kite is the same as what Stan sold with the exception --i added a new spare parts line and there
is one small tear 1-2 inch long repaired with sail tape. $1000 takes it. 912-573-9240 i am only selling this because i found a used speed 21. or
email to kitesurfer2@comcast.nettridude - 6-12-2011 at 07:27 AM
nice...........Im too skinny for a 19 anymore.....................this kite does deliver under 10 mph folks................10 mph winds=10 foot jumps
on water 5mph upwind and haulin booty in the buggy:duh::duh:dylanj423 - 6-12-2011 at 08:12 AM
sending u2u...van - 6-12-2011 at 08:18 AM
I was wondering when you were gonna chime in. You get to fly that 17m speed yet??? dylanj423 - 6-12-2011 at 09:05 AM
no :/ .... my leg took like a month to heal up properly, and now all the winds are outta the north and its a little too cold for me... i guess its
time to break the landboard and buggy back out elnica - 6-12-2011 at 02:48 PM
If anyone knows how to paraglide, this kite would be an awesome project for parakite sand/water boarding!
That guy is amazing. He paraglides, kite sandboards, and kitesurfs all in one session with the same equipment! Speed 2 and Speed 3 19m kites. I bet
the SA would also be ideal for that setup.AD72 - 6-12-2011 at 05:46 PM
I've got the same one. Goodtimes.kitesurfer - 13-12-2011 at 01:11 PM
I HAD TO BACK OUT on selling as the 21 sold on me before i could get the money to him.dylanj423 - 13-12-2011 at 01:19 PM
no worries... i understand...kitesurfer - 17-1-2012 at 10:49 AM
dylan, i sent you a U2Ustetson05 - 17-1-2012 at 10:52 AM
I think he got a S3 21m. I am sure though if you are selling again someone would be interested.kitesurfer - 17-1-2012 at 11:01 AM
i wanted to give him first dibs....anyway, it seems as though i may be able to snag a new PURPLE s21. for sure i don't need a 19 and a 21. so if
dylan don't want it...dylanj423 - 17-1-2012 at 03:33 PM
i did get a 21m... thanx, tho... good on you keeping me in mind arkay - 17-1-2012 at 08:31 PM
please direct all sa19 sales to me I'm in the market :eureka:stetson05 - 17-1-2012 at 08:47 PM
If it was me I would start a whole new thread. People might skip over an old thread thinking they already read it but look at a new thread. Good
luck with the sale. My 19m is my favorite kitearkay - 17-1-2012 at 11:17 PM
