I bought a PANSH 2.5 ace for my youngest boy, he wants to learn to fly. For $99 , I can't beat it.Then I found out they were going to sell 2.0 ace race kites soon and I got one of the first in sexy red. they also have all black. $119 kite only. supposed to be a really fast,sought after kite.Hey I could use a new high wind kite.( wouldn't want to hurt the wifes PUNK sting 1.7 )that cost me a bundle,and another bundle to ship. Why is it I can get a kite from china with free shipping anywhere in world,but a flexifoil from UK costs $75 shipping . we're talking 1.7 sting,it weighs like, a pound. WTF will post review of new pansh later . until then "Is there anybody out there,out there, out there ,there, there, re, re ...."

I'm here weldngod. The weekends are when most of us are out flying our kites. Yeah there are some deals out there to be had some of the guys on the forum have some cheap kites that wouldn't cost that much maybe you should consider being a dealer?

I don't mean Cheap as in poorly constructed, but more cost effective. little things like the stuff sack vs. backpack sack( how much extra are you paying for that flexifoil rucksack . ) I have heard that Pansh kites are nice kites, they just don't have the best lines ,handles,or spend alot on sales.The only place to buy one is at there website.they swear you will have your kite in 4-7 days I wonder just how much mark up is on a major name brand?(flexi,ozone ,best, peter lynn,etc.)I will post review with pics when it arrives. peace

wow! there is lots to go off on here......weldngod, the markup on kites is ridiculous yes! When you buy a name brand kite, although there are some subtle differences, they are the exact same thing., just priced variably!.........terremoto.....why does it cost 75 bucks to ship from the uk? I think it has something to do with taxes.......Same thing goes in Canada I think....expensive to ship into and out of....so you have to lie about the contents and the value of the package.....

If you want a cheap foil for learning, you should be able to find a quality trainer.....3 meter or less for a hundred bucks@! :thumbsup:

Has anyone flown these Chinese kites? I would be interested to know how they fly. I find most things that come from China are pretty poor quality.

I haven't flow on the kites you are talking about, but I have small foils with backpacks for under $100. PM me if anyone is interested.
