Re: Nice car and kite equipment

I bought some inexpensive plastic solid colored shower curtains that happen to match the interior of my car. I lay one down first then all my stuff. The other one goes over everything to protect from UV and keep wet from dry. They actually make a decent beach blanket to change on as well. Never thou...

Re: Is Windwing still around?

Hi Dr_Rosen. I think you could only pull that off if you had a very long depower strap.

Re: Bridles with no pulleys?

Good topic Starsky. I have been hooked on bridled kites without pulleys for years and have been starting to wonder why everyone has been waiting for so long. I found that bridled kites with no pulleys give a much more direct feel and the bridle still allows for plenty of depower. The drawback is tha...

Re: Batwing 09 10m right choice?

The best thing about the 09 Batwings is that they have a huge range so if the wind does pick up, you can still hold them down and have fun. The new simple bridle without pullies and tweaks on the kite ma...

Re: Possible beach closures due to Kitebeaches

Sorry to hear about this. I have not heard of false locations on KBs but have been seeing a lot of stress being put on existing launches. Any new spots that are good, get the tight lip and try to remain a secret. I hope that nothing goes bad and looking forward to getting out that way next month. Ev...

Re: 2009 Batwing more pics...

Hi JackyC, I'm not sure who you are but feel free to PM me so that I can put a face to the name? I am thinking about heading to the East Coast in Sept. I have not been to the NE in years and would like to hit some of the old spots and check out the setup the Green Hats and Noel got going. Hopefully ...

Hello JackyC,

That Bat is a pre-production sample of the 10m Batwing for 2009. So far testing has been very good and this is the final sample versions that we are now testing / beating on.
