Re: Pansh Kestrel, new high performance kite

i received my 12m first flight I forgot the deflate zip and ditched it after half an hours ride. Super powerful in 8 knots on a hydrofoil but was folding on right side perhaps because pressure was lost through the deflate zip! It was a short swim but a devil of a job to get the kite up the beach an...

Re: Shadowbox

Would be really interesting to see how the speed reading from the Shadowbox compare to the Genie GT-31. If the Shadowbox proved accurate enough for speed sailing that would be great too! Hopefully someone will get a chance to try the two side by side and post the comparisons sometime soon.

Re: Eclipse 2010 Kima II (Hatteras 6th Dec '09)

What are the differences with the kite compared to the 09 Kima?

Are you still using the Slingshot one pump setup? Looks like the proto has strut clips on it, hope they make it on to the production kites this time.

Re: Unofficial Eclipse '09 bar mod for use with the Kima

Thanks for posting some pics of your setup Rorke. I'm flying my Kima with the 08 Eclipse bar and was wondering how much it limits upper range of the Kima - a fair bit by the looks. I'll definately give it a go with my Slingshot bar and see how it goes with the extra bar throw. Your mods to the 09 ba...

Re: Old twintips

Thanks for the suggestion tungesten, i'll give it a try sometime. You're saying both feet parallel to each other, not toed out like it is at the moment? I was trying to edge the board when i was on it, but maybe riding it flatter and using the fins more might help....

Cheers

Re: Old twintips

I've got this board which i've only tried once so far. I was comfortably powered on my 9m and was doing all i could just to hold my ground - it was hard work. Couldn't get out to the waves to enjoy them! It measures about 135 x 33cm over all and is increadibly stiff. Board design has come a long way...

Re: Delta shape the shape of the future?

As i don't know much about kite or bridle design i was wondering if hindenberging is purely a characteristic of kite design, or is it something that can be tamed / corrected with bridle modification?

Re: Slingshot Bladder question.

You'll have to make sure the onepump connections are in the same place on both the bladders too. Fire a question to Schey as suggested, he's good at providing info!

Re: eclipse morph bar problems

According to kiteattitude (http://www.kiteforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2358209&start=40) The corrosion problems should have been sorted as the parts are now anodized instead of painted. He also went on to sate that its purely cosmetic and not a safety issue - though if your safety wont work i'd be ...
