I can't make it. But please tell me. Which would you rather have for your big kite; a T3 14 or a Rev 15?

I have plans for the weekend but there will be dates that fall on weekends coming up very soon. Since were so close to the launch site it very easy to do demos anytime there some wind so just check in with nwkite for any updates.
Depending on what style you want; bow or hybrid. The 14 will have the most low end and most range but the 15 is not that far behind. The 15 will be faster in the window which can create a bunch of power and will have lighter bar pressure for sure. In 1:1 the 14 makes it turn slow, so if you looking at reducing the bar pressure with the 14 you gonna get a kite that just whats to sit up in the window, which can be nice for those ultra light wind days when mowing the grass is the only thing you can do . 2:1 works great and with the correct bar input can turn just as fast as the 15 but will have more bar pressure in the long run. The 15M is my choice for now because of the direct contact, reduced bar pressure and speed.
But you can't go wrong with either way, there both great kites!

| I can be at stevenson at 4:30. Is it worth it, will there still be wind? (when did it shut down yesterday?) Is there anywhere to go if I'm leaving PDX at 3:30? SI is looking like a long shot. RR has looked pretty weird...

Thanks for the T3 and REV demo today Shy. They were both really fun.
I think I need a quiver of both! One for the coast, the other for the Gorge.

| Fun day out there for sure! Had some pretty powered 9m for a while. Backed off a bit, but Jeff still made the 11 work.

| Yeah Shy, Awesome that you put it on! Good winds too! I really liked the T3. Best bow I've ridden. Turns ultra quick, new bar grip, lots of low end grunt, nice lift. Was lucky to get a taste of gov't cove before it died. Unfortunately I was still over there when it turned off. Without doubt--my bad for pushing it so late in the day. You know how it is..I just had to get there and ride the butter! I eventually got back to the launch on my own accord around 5 and left the kite with A-dog. That place was suite! Thanks again Shy!
