Re: Looking for Reviews --> Airush Lithium 2013 (esp. 10/14

Beyond Cocos

Was a rank beginner with a few sporadic lessons over the last few years but bit the bullet and lashed out on a 14M Switchblade and a Cabrinha Rival 145 (all 2011 gear) . Bought the gear expressly for a 12 day Cocos Island trip with Zephyr Kite Tours during Aug/Sept '11 (highly recommend Zephyr - gre...
