Finally had a good day to try out the new Nano.

I was amazed at the speed thru turns and amount of low-end range. Well balanced with bomb proof construction and lots of small details. I cant say i've flown many SLE's to compare it to, But i sure like how the bar feels very responsive.
Not trying to give everyone a sales pitch Wink , just sharing the stoke.

See the Eclipse Kiteboarding website to get the specs and better pics Razz

I have all sizes of the 2008 Nanos and a few 2008 Thrusters if any one is interested in giving them a try.

hey dale,

are you coming down for the snowdaze? I'd be interested in trying a thruster Wink I'm curious to see what differences there are to the nano,
kitekid (lil john) brought out the 10m but i didnt get the chance to fly it. (having to much fun) Razz

The thing i like about C's is the no turning while sheeting out factor, i took some hard hits with the waroo. and even though this is a common thing with SLE's, the nano seemed to have enough bar pressure to sense what the kite is doing. and the mini 5th line is a nice feature Thumb's Up

Sol Fly, I rode an 8m Thruster yesterday for 3hrs and was amazed. If you get the chance to ride one, you will be plesantly surprised. No need to hype, just try it. Cool
