If it is at Jones I'll be there to check out some mists and maybe a FL3 before the wind picks up!

I think several if the Sauvies regulars are going to hit Jones today around 1. It would be great to check out the new Blade line up.

PICs From yesterday.. NEW BLADE FAT LADY 17m saved the day. Who thought you could ride in 8mph wind? I did I love this kite!! Picked up to a steady 15mph late day and you had plenty of juice for a really fun session on the Foil Board and the twin tips.

*8:30 AM UPDATE SUNDAY 8/3*
Many requests here on the forum, Phone calls and emails for Jones Beach over Manzo so you got it. We are heading to JONES BEACH TODAY SUNDAY.
Pulling up camp now at Manzo and will plan to be at JONES Beach by NOON in hopes to have some Fat Lady sessions before the wind turns into the high 20's.
So hopefully you make it out. For you Sauvies guys definitly come try out the Fat Lady be a great kite for that beach.
Once wind kicks into full swing we have plenty of small kites, the Freestlye MIST, all around and most popular Trigger and the new Wave kite Skinny Boy. Got plenty of kites and boards to go around.
Se ya There

caps is right - rodeo wind here at manzo - but it was still good to get in a session. I bet the wind was great at Jones for the demo!

Those are some sick kites. I think i found my old 10m bularoo replacement
I may even have to upgrade my 12m even though it still has a lot of life left in it.
Thanks for the demos Andy

Jones was great. Big crowd and really enjoyed getting to try all the 2014 blade kites and the Fat Lady before the wind built up. Pulled like a dump truck in wind where I would normally just limp along on my 12m!
Thanks again to Andy and Nate for setting it up and bringing the kites!
