Bros birthday, could be my present to myself

I bought Octanes at 1/2 price, and am pleased with them, great performance kites with huge range. really well finished with a lot of nice touches, one pump is top dog. Agree battens suck when putting your kite in the bag though. Instinct is a really nice kite, interesting to see what 07 will be like...

Sorry dont do computer stuff. Had some pics but have lost them now. It is dead easy to do though. need 2 rings and a stopper ball. remove 5th line from grey leader, fasten 1 ring on end of leader. Fix stopper about 2m up 5th line (may need adjusting after flight checks). Pass 5th line through leader...

I made the original 5th line into a re-ride type, same as kit with out the hassel. just used it to land, clip on safety when needed.

Used 2 rings and stopper ball.

Great work panchito, looks really well done as well.

As you say, wht change kites for a new model when an easy mod gives same benifit.

Well done.

I used one for a while as a light wind board. Was OK, bit bounce as wind picked up and rear leg took a hammering holding it down.

One for sale on UK forum,my old one.

Never made it on the water, to gusty and wild.

Thought a big picture did the Graphics justice

Not the best quality but its windy, and wanting to hit the water.

Bigger fins, narrow tail, on 07. Plus 134 long.

Just opeded up my new T-wave, rode the 2006 T-wave on a rider deal from Phil in UK. This board looks fantastic. Color is Wicked, red/pink one. More wave oriented than last T-wave, subtle changes in shape, it is excactly what i wanted when i rode a mutant. A TT in flat water with a option to rip wave...

I agree with Panchito, its more your local importer/dealer than Brand.

I know in UK some great service from Flysufer, GK and SS from my experince.
