, especially when compared to the '02's that we were demo'ing. No one at the beach liked them. Those same guys fly and love the new '04 and were shocked by the difference in the prototype and the end result.... it'll be interesting to see what the new kites are like...Is this the Rhino 5?

I flew an '04 Rhino prototype last year, (in about July) it must have been pretty early in the run, cuz it really sucked , especially when compared to the '02's that we were demo'ing. No one at the beach liked them.

yes, it is a prototype of the R5.
The day after Jaime had a proto of the R5 18.
Jaime never gets to ride the production kites, like others of his team colleagues since he is always working on the protos.
So, to see the latest developments from North, check his kites
And his 5th element was a proto too, so I didn't film it or made pictures, since it looks much better on the presentation.
Tux: with this avatar I would have recognized you!
It was a pleasure to finally meet you and your friends!

Now you should see them, it's because of the free hosting space of the adsl line you don't have to pay it, but it doesn't work...

Did you notice how low the aspect was on the new RRD? Watch Toby's video.Foxi wrote:not knowing it´s a R5 Proto I would rather have rated it a Vegas proto from the look of the AR !

yes Dwight, I´ve watched the video, but to be honest - nevertheless I bought lots of RRD windsurfboards and beach wear past years and love Roberto for his designs - I don´t consider RRD a benchmark in kite design. As I prefer medAR in smaller sizes, I wonder if there´s a threshold in all bigger than 16+ ?
