I'm not sure yet about adding more bridles to kites. I'm more attracted to the move towards simplicity (ex: The Cloud), but if it really rocks, we'll all be saving our lunch money to get one. I am very impressed with the sliding pin, self launching system. Great idea! Looks simple and effective. Very cool .Anybody tried it yet?

Yep always the simpler the better, but simplicity doesn't equal superior performance. The latter is and will always be my criteria

Correct! We will C

No, you are still No 1 , with:

"Pumpy,
Have you been kiting any?"

I love my foil because I don't need to pump or deal with bladder/valve issues. As long as I keep up with the rigging it works every time.

I love my two inflatos, they handle great, self launch and land are a snap and the rigging is so simple.

But to make a kite with the headache of leaky valves and bladders and combine it with the headache of complex bridles and mixer adjustments...........well it makes no sense to me

Actually the prize goes to my buddy 14Toeside from up the coast
He wrote that question..we both have learned from each other the art & finessing of silliness

I like the self launch thing,

I can add that to my kite; it would be pretty useful

So, if its supa's thread the smiley's should be mandatory!



Would this kite have the same of range a foil does? is that the idea? I like the kite, but the wing. That diagonal/sharp wing tip improves its....??? Makes it look un-aerodynamic (not really a scientific criticism) but usually these things are visually obvious, no?

I'd try one,
