Re: Synergy Deca
Have indeed flown one, more than once. Very unusual kite to fly, but fun! Not aware of a UK supplier, I'm afraid ...

Guildworks don't do kites any more, as their blank webpage for the Deca might suggest.
If one does pop up for sale second hand you'll need to be quick as even the spendy ones like the 31 rarely hang around.

Re: Synergy Deca
I do have one, and guildworks doesn't builds them outside special projects anymore.
So, your only change is 2nd hand or build one yourself from the few plans that are around. But it is a very complicated kite to build.
Heck, some even say you need a degree in engineering to put it together for flying :)
The number of the deca in general stands for the panels the sail is made from. You want one with the higher panel count, 15, 15+2 or better yet the 31. they fly better the more panels the sail is made from because it conforms better to the desired 3d shape of the sail that way.
They also fly different to other quad liners, they are more for floating and shot lines imho, they don't like long lines much. It can do things a rev can't and vice versa. Deca can for example yo-yo pretty well but vertical side slides on the other hand are not its strength.
