Thanks again Mark!

Although the testing conditions were fairly gusty, everyone I saw trying that kite had big smiles.

Thumb's Up


Ditto Slither dude.
Rode the Helix in very gusty/fluky conditions Friday and Saturday eastern gorge and it performed incredibly well. I love the way it handles, the way it turns and the new bar is awesome. Amazing hang time too. Thumb's Up

Sweet Pix Bammer.

Sure liked the looks of the pink and grey one that was flying around Roofie this weekend! She was pretty!

Too bad I didn't get to try it... maybe soon... Wink

Damn that was my secret weapon! Wink
Hopefully there will be enough wind. I plan on using it to WIN the kite marathon. Once the race is over, you are more than welcome to give it a test flight.

You don't want to win the kite marathon, what would you do with all those slingshot kites? Then your Helix would get all Jealous.

Now that would be funny, to win Slingshot kites on your Helix. Would you switch over?

Not sure If I will make thursday. I have meetings that may go into the afternoon. If I can get away, I will be there.

If the winds hold I am heading up TODAY. Come by and take a test fly.

Helix will be playing at the sandbar from 2-6ish. If you are a reasonable experienced kiter please come by for a test fly.

See ya there......

Oh yeah, if you are not looking for a new kite you may not want to fly the helix..... Wink
