That gorgeous Bobby Stanfield cellular kite......


You can own this spectacular kite!!! 
This is the final price drop on the Stanfield.   
If no one grabs this kite up at 600$ then it is going back off the market. 

 The neat stuff:
This is 1 of only 4 kites.   Bobby only made 4 of this specific kite.  Two were sold on the East coast, and two were on the West coast.  The other East coast kite flies on Horseneck Beach in Westport, Massachusetts.

Bobby made most of his own fittings.  To look at this kite you see it as a marvel of design.  He designed the kite so that it is very easy to adjust the tension on the skin, that way it looks the best at all times.

This is a massive cellular kite - it is about 7' tall, over 8' wide and almost 3' deep! 
 
The tail is a separate section.   This kite will fly without it, but does look more complete with it.  

This kite will look beautiful up flying in the wind, or hanging in a office or museum! 

This kite will definitely make you more popular on the kite field.

Are you a Florida Gators fan who loves flying single line kites?  Then this kite is very appropriate for you!

Drop a note to us to claim this beauty!!!!  
Someone needs to take this home and display it!

Good winds to everone

*claim about this kite increasing our popularity might be stretching the truth a bit!

Bobby Stanfield Cellular kite

Now to be honest this is not a one of a kind kite; this is a one of four of a kind kite.   Bobby made 4 of these amazing cellular kites.   Two were sold on the East Coast and two on the West coast.   The other East Coast one will not be sold (I know who has it), and the West coast ones - well I jave no clue where they are.   
But you could bring this kite to your region!   

This kite is in fantastic shape (and truthfully belongs in a museum!) and is ready to fly.   
Assembly takes about 10 to 15 minutes and then it is good to go.   

If you are not familiar with Bobby's work he is one of the best kite makers out there ever.   The sewing is perfect, 
the design is exquisite, 
the framing is one of a kind (he made a lot of his own fittings).

This kite can come to you for the price of 675$ + shipping.   
A veritable steal in the world of high end show single line kites.

You can find more pictures of the kite here: UNnamed Bobby Stanfield Cellular Kite
As well as pictures of how it goes together here: Stanfield Assembly

There are still some great deals in the Yard Sale, as well as some great kites available from Windswept Kites!

Good winds everyone!

Well, some of you asked for it......


This is the Bobby Stanfield cellular piece that is in the Windswept Kites Yard Sale right now.
Bobby is one of the most amazing kitebuilders ever out there.....trust me on this!!!

Now the price on this kite is 800$ and it is worth every penny.

The kite is in two pieces.
The small star section at the back (bottom of the picture) is removable if you do not wish to have it on there.
All painstakingly appliqued in Bobby's manner (search on KiteBuilder.com for more on that),
and with Bobby's custom screw fittings this piece belongs in a museum!!!

The kitebuilding/selling crew will even go through and document as much as we can about how to assemble it when it comes apart
(but honestly it might spend the day hanging out loosely in the apartment for the art factor).

There is not many of Bobby's kites out there, and when one comes up for sale
if you have any interest (and the money) grab it while you can -you will probably never see that kite again!!!!

There are still some good deals in the Yard Sale, as well as some fantastic kites on the site too,
summer is coming,
you know you need a new kite!!!!

Good winds
