Quiver / colour scheme

Hi all,

Just curious, if you are buying more that 1 size within the range of a particular kite, would you generally stick to the same colour scheme or mix it up?

Thanks

Mix it up! Sometimes its easier to peek in the bag and be sure you have the right kite depending on it's color.

I pulled my 19m out one day instead of my 12m. It didn't look like 12m once I finished unrolling it so I realized before I launched it. But still, it was a waste of time

Depends on the manufacturer though. Some don't give you a choice and color code their kites by size.

Flexifoil is an exception and each size can be had in a number of colors.

Some of the color schemes are fugly, so if I find one I like, I tend to stick with it when given a choice.

Most standard bags have the kite size on the outside and those that don't can be tagged.

ATB,

Yeah, thats what I was thinking also. My blurr 2.5 arrived, but in the same hulk scheme that my 3.5 is in, not the petrol one as ordered. Slightly annoying.

I love mixing it up, as seeing all those colorful kites in the sky during an event is quite a sight...

:eureka: However... If you are married and money is an issue with the Mrs. then going with the same color scheme in a quiver is helpful...She will never know the difference between a 3.5 and a 5.0. This way you are never really purchasing any kites.. :bigok:
