Jason Montreal is waiting for wind to do his review of it.
A few people around here have said it's easier to ride, more explosive lift, better looping, not quite the hangtime of the Edge. Next time it's windy, I'll see if I can steal one for an hour or so.
Marc did his ribs and back in round 2. Round 3 ACL and ankle. Apparently it was 22-30, gusting 40-60kn. Riders didn't know if they were going to get lifted or dropped and just hoped the gust lasted long enough to land.

That's interesting. I'm not seeing the yank from the new spinning style of kites at all. It appears that they simply spin off the wingtip but don't generate the power we are used to seeing.

This time my caddy already released the kite and the bridle opened the valve somehow and this part that ...
Don’t mean it’s dead. But I have hard to think it’s a big market for have a load off sponsorship for that? I mean the money for a tea rider need to come in from something and if you don’t sell kites to over the coast it’s gone be a strange strategy. Pretty sure a all round kite is bigger market. Ye...
Which makes me think I will want to get the Jamie over the Impe. I'm not strictly trying to send big airs and like to play in the surf and do freestyle as much or more than just straight sends. Did you get the 2023 Jamie SLS? Is it a good free ride board? Playful, can skate around on it, etc.? I ha...
Isn’t big air pretty small thing? Compare what’s sold must off kites? Right now I suspect big air kites are probably a reasonable proportion of the market. Wave riding is likely a standard size for years with it neither growing nor dropping in market share. Freestyle has mostly died, with only a ha...
