just got my new kite...
pretty sweet...
unbelievably quick, and responsive...
relaunch is incredibly easy! the kite won't stay down!
the bar pressure is just right...
easy to ride in the waves, and for freestyle...
in fact, this is going to be the kite for 08...








lol...

I knew this small-kite fad would end soon. That thing looks sweet!

Get some long lines and you could tangle a couple other kites (and kiters) in your lines and not even notice with that thing...you'd be able to answer the right of way questions with authority.

Just hang on to it for the Blowout race next year. You can just teabag all the way to the finish line...provided you can stay in the river Twisted Evil

Is there even a requirement to use a board with that thing?

It might be fun to be the one see steering the kite, or the one steering the canoe, but sitting in the middle as ballast looks kooky-ooky.
