Found a site selling Pansh kites.

Spend $279usd on Pansh Aces and get a Pansh Flux 6.0 for free

Spend $359usd on Pansh Aces and get a Pansh First 5.0 for free

and free shipping anywhere in the world???? Usually things that sound to good to be true usually are. Panshkites.com

Maybe I should break down and by Cheeze's Core quiver ... forum members seem much safer to deal with

They are legit. Some say they are crap chinese kites,and maybe in the early days they were.But they are alot better now. I own several and fly them from time to time too. They don't give any instruction manual,so you need to do your own research. I'm sure the pansh hater's will be along soon. I got my Pansh's in my siggy,I ain't ashamed!:frog:

That is the official Pansh site, if you buy there kites, I am not sure you get handles and lines anymore!

Kind of ditto what Donnie said! My first kite was a Pansh, I don't own them anymore, but they did fly good!

Cheesy's quiver pretty nice too!

You can see Willard the grey flying both the First and the Flux in the SOBB forum. He had great winds, and was rockin' both!

Yup... still got some of my Pansh kites..... I started on those.....

The flux flies real nice....... if your not experienced that Ace can be a handful and dangerous..... but also a serious rush to fly......

Read the fine print on their specials.... sometimes you get lines and handles.... sometimes you don't.....

I checked the special and it looks like it is if your total order hits 279 USD you get the Flux and 359 you get the First....... I think the First is going to be the replacement for their Sprint race kite.... but I could be wrong.....

I think the Flux is the long overdue replacement to the Legend......

That being said...... cheesy's quiver is pretty awesome......

But if you go Pansh...... you might check the 3m Blaze, the 4.5 meter Ace and then you got the free 6m Flux....... a nice little quiver......

Ya ... saw youtube of him flying 6m flux and 4m first on Sunday of SOBB .... that's what made me start looking into them .... a cheaper startup .... was thinking of 3m and a couple larger ones so I could start static ,,,, really want to get into buggies

Pansh ace 5 and 8 meters were my two first kites

Pansh ace 5 and 8 meters were my two first kites

I am a known Pansh hater so I will not even comment about it, but will anyone disagree with me that Cheeze's core quiver would not be the better way to go ??? Could someone honestly say any of these Pansh kites would be a better choice?

nope!


I would rather have 1 of cheezys kites, than 2 panshs

Thanks Weldngod you were the one I was worried about

cores are great kites,no doubt. But my sprint will kick its ass!

I just think the core is better built

I would much rather have cheesy's quiver of Cores...... and if you have the budget go for it...... but there was a time, that due to budget, I would have loved an opportunity at a crack at a 3 kite quiver for around $340.......

Have you scrounged through the PKF for sale section???? There may be some smart buys hiding in there......

Thanks for all the replies Gentleman

Cheezy's PL Core's sound great and I am a big brand loyalty guy ... Goof makes a good point too ... for a newbie, 3, 4.5 & 6 kite for about $350 is awful tempting even if there is better kites out there .... a guy can always upgrade ,,,,,, decisions, decisions, decisions :dunno:

upgrade...... that's funny......

if he only knew the path he has started down...... there is a reason behind my short signature......

bigbear.... which ever way you go I am sure you will be happy..... I love my PL's but I wouldn't be where I am today without my Pansh..... it's a progression.... an addiction..... an obsession, an enthusiasm, a fascination, a preoccupation, a passion, an infatuation...... aahhhh you get the picture......

Actually it was the other way around 6.1m First and a 4m Flux.

Buy Cheezy's kites....!!!:bigok::bigok:

only the kite shops/owners of kite shops hate Pansh...you'll get over it some day :wee:

So, in my mind at least, the question that seems to remain is: to start building depth in one's quiver, are the Pansh kites that bad? It appears that the consensus is that there're "OK" to start with, but be ready for the true cost of the addiction...

Really at the end of the day, it all comes down to how many$$ you have in your pocket and how keen you are.

I was poor bought a 5M ace learnt heaps am still keen

And pansh are WAY better than a "jonesband" ebay knockoff! LOL:D

hiaguy..... I might not be the best example here.......

I know a couple of guys out there that have a blast with just 3 or 4 kites in their quiver....... and have no plans for additions or upgrades.....

I am what you might call one of those that went a bit overboard..... I am sure if you wait a minute ..... there will be one or two here that might chime in on that....

I always throw my Pansh Blaze in my suitcase when I travel for work..... it packs down real small and if it gets lost or ruined.... oh well......

Cheezy's Core quiver would be an awesome set up. But if you are starting out and the economy has funds a bit tight..... then going with Pansh may not be a bad choice.....

There are also many different kite styles to move to and try.... the Pansh fall in the Fixed Bridle category, there are also several different kinds of depower, and then there is the d'arc side.......(also in the depower family)

I went through my quiver and I dug out a total of 7 Pansh kites. 3 of them I still fly now and again. A couple I use to intro people to power kiting.... a couple sit in the basket....

If you go Pansh, get yourself a large Dakine or similar back pack..... All 3 kites will fit in it (Pansh comes in a stuff sack) and it will make going out the the field easy......

If you are not in a hurry to buy I can bring a couple Pansh to WBB and you can compare them to my PL's. There will also be lots of other kites out there to look at and compare. Just a thought....... And you would be more than welcome to fly them....

pansh............

Thanks g00fba11.

I've got a couple of old stunt kites and a couple of HQ Symphonys (I usually go to the field with my pre-teen kids) and a Rush Pro 300 - which is where most of my time is spent right now. (But it's gotten boring!) I'm waiting for: a new bridle for my Rev (snapped it in a gust), a Hornet 3.0 and Core 4.0 from awoc. (should be here tomorrow! )

Some variety, without aggravating my marital status further than I have to, sounds interesting. The Pansh pricing is certainly inviting, but.... Maybe I'll wait until I've got the new kites and have had a chance to enjoy WBB and your generous offer.

hiaguy.... You got a couple of nice kites coming in from Kent...... I will be sure to toss in a couple of Pansh and a couple of my Reactors.....

I am sure many others will also let you try out a kite or 2 at WBB...........

Pansh, the "Gateway" drug of kites.

I don't fit either category. I've owned 2 pansh kites and flown 5 of them. I made the statement this weekend that after gaining experience and flying a Flexi Blade IV, I couldn't sell my Pansh kites fast enough. No reason to ever buy one again once I understood what the benefit of a premium kite was. The way they market their kites is ok for people getting into the hobby/sport but even years later, they can't go mainstream, with instructions, and dealers. In most industries, to be successful you either lead or you follow well. Pansh does neither.

Now for Donnie to say he likes the ones he has, means maybe they've gotten some things right on their kites. I just have no reason to believe they could be better than the HQ Toxics and Prodigy, or Reactor IIs I have or the Vapors I'm starting to add in.
