Delamination on the gold-colored Aluula kites seems to be a real issue. I saw one post in my Facebook feed talking about it, where one response suggested to keep a brand new kite no longer than three months before selling it. It almost seems like a replay of the whole debacle with Best Kites "Cuben...

I'm not really supposed to be doing jumps yet, so the vid is mostly just showing how the kite flies.

I haven't got out on it yet, but here is the weight etc. of the 9m. 5.11 pounds. It is the first kite we have sold that has an actual piece of Aluula fabric in the repair kit.... 20240326_142903.jpg 20240326_142914.jpg 20240326_142951.jpg 20240326_143027.jpg 20240326_143058.jpg 20240326_143220.jpg 2...

interesting review. Seems like the big sizes are not benefitting from Aluula yet, but the 8m looks amazing.

Kokatat. Still the best drysuit made.

Kokatat's are excellent, but the zipper location is a problem for anyone using a waist harness.
