what is the deal with this kite? is it ever being released?

can someone from SS describe the design goals behind it? i heard it may be smaller than some other flat 5ms, and thus similar low end to 5m fuel--but giving it sufficient high end for the biggest days. is this true? any info is appreciated.

i think it's good to have a 5m and 7m of the same type, so testing the 5m is key. and how do i get a "bro deal" on these things?

I don't know all the details on the kite, but I'm pretty sure they haven't had any come in (at least to be distributed around here). Where's Shy? The protos we rode were fuckin' awesome, though you probably need a solid ~30+ to even have power! We've had it out in ~40 and it definately wants more! Tucker got one to play with for tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have the 5m2 REV in stock right now.
If you are interested in checking it out, we would be happy to inflate it up for you to check out (it's not a demo, so no water time with this one, plus it might be the only one available in the region).

As for 'bro' pricing, this is next years kite, so pricing is supposed to stay at MSRP, but we have been known to be very friendly to locals when it counts.

We also have at least one of each size from 5m2 to 13m2 available in the REV's at this moment.

Thanks
