lei: Liquid Force Hi-Fi Comp 2009 12m + 9m (each with bar/lines)

[Phizz]

12m and 9m Liquid Force Hi-Fi Comps, 2009 model. The Hi-Fi Comp 2009 is a 5-line hybrid C/SLE site. It's a C-shape, with LF's diamond wing tips, and a bridle on the 5th line. It's got the direct C-kite feel, but with the extra control, depower and relaunchability of an SLE.

 

Why did I buy this kite originally? I come from a land-boarding background. On land boards, I used (and loved) the Flexifoil Blade IV traction kite. I really liked how grunty, quick turning, controllable and powerful the Blade was. So when I transferred to kitesuring, I was disappointed with my first kite (2008 Best Nemesis) due to it's slow turning and spongy control. So I got Hi-fi comps on the basis they they would have a similar feel to my Blade IV in terms of speed and control. And yes they do - very fun kites to fly. Really powerful, really fast, really reactive. They are pitched as freestyle/competition kites although I never really got into tricks (mainly due to not getting out on them enough and so not being fit enough to try!), but they are great for free riding as well - mega acceleration, high speed, big boosts, popping over the waves, etc. I wouldn't say they are great for hardcore wave riding, but if you're like me, that don't matter. The only word of warning is that the Hi-fi comp is not for newbies who want really easy back and forth sessions. If you want acceleration, speed, power, a good abdominal workout, and loads of adrenalin, then the Hi-fi comp is for you.

Liquid Force Hi-Fi Comp 2009 12m

Kite + Bar + Lines

Original bag

Red/Gold/White colour scheme

 

This kite is in excellent condition. I bought it practically new in late 2009 from a guy who had only flown it a handful of times. I've flown it between 10 and 20 times in total. It has never been damaged and has never been in need of repair - not even pin holes. It holds its inflation all day with no leakage. The bar and lines are also in excellent condition - lines still have a bit of the waxiness of new lines. No knots or tangles. Kite, bar and lines were never stored wet for long - always dried out in my garage. Bar and lines rinsed with fresh water after each session. Included in original Liquid Force carry bag - heavyweight, sturdy, super condition.

Liquid Force Hi-Fi Comp 2009 9m

Kite + Bar + Lines

Original bag

Blue/Gold/White colour scheme

 

This kite is in very good condition. I bought it second hand in 2010. Judging by the bar and lines when I bought it, it had had its fair share of usage, but has not been abused by any means. When I bought it, it only had a couple pin holes already patched - patches are still perfectly intact. I have flown it less than 10 times, and noticed after the most recent session that there is another small area with some pin holes that will need to be patched (pic included). There are no inflation/bladder issues - kite holds air all day. The bar and lines are in good condition - used but not abused. Kite, bar and lines were never stored wet for long - always dried out in my garage. Bar and lines rinsed with fresh water after each session. Included in original Liquid Force carry bag - heavyweight, sturdy, super condition.
