I have got old kites (either just old or broken) starting to build up in my shed.
There is a lot of material in these kites and im a bit to environmentally minded to want to throw them out.
Does anyone have a use for these or is there any way i can recycle them??
14m Naish aero 2 (approx 2002) - Fly's but has no bar or lines
11.5m Liquid force (old approx 2001?) - burst leading edge.
9m RRd type 2 - hybrid 2 line/4 line kite. Flys well on four lines, with the right set up (eg. line length etc). Comes with the 2 line bar. However i have never been able to make it fly with this set up.
- Bonfire on the beach as a sacrifice to the wind gods?
- Keep them long enough and they become antiques like old Mals - we'll see guys out on them wearing kite pants and doing board offs...
Gut them, take off any good lines, tabs, bladders, bars, valves and patch of good spare material for any future repairs for your and friends gear. Or give them to me, i'll gut them and bin them for you. 
I gutted a pair of lines from a kite to make the lines for my 06 Rhino have better depower, better quick release and a bar that no longer gave me massive blisters.
Else, see if repair guys will give you money for old kites and bars??
Hey Matt,
Funny you say that, your post couldn't be more appropriate. I have been thinking about redoing a trailer cover for my "kite transport" - a trailer I bought to attach to my Jeep since Jeeps have no boots and I have too much gear.
So I thought I would make the cover out of some old kites. I have been looking at who would have 'thow away ones' as I only need the material and nothing else.
I live in Sydney so let me know if you are really going to throw them away and I will take them off your hands, chopp them up and go to town on a old sewing machine :). It may even turn out ok.
Let me know what suits.
Cheers

You can make Paragliding Stuff sack out of them and you can simply sell each sack for $40;
make some of those sick pants MC Hammer used to wear. You'll bring back the trend for sure (or get flogged)
aah ha!, what about 20 pair's of speedos and bikinis, might have abit of see thru sideways action, but hey, recycling ..............ehh
could sell them too, 10 bucks a pop
cool

you might try making an infatable tent.would be better if they where one pump.
happy camping
Find someone who can sew and you make you a couple of waterproof bags or something.
Thanks for all the responses. I'm giving them to a bloke who is making experimental kites out of them.
