so, will this kite be getting a seperate group like the hellfish???

[justoon]

Kurt,you may right there.And how much is this thing going to cost?I cringe at the thought.Direct competition for the hellfish at a guess we are back at the 2+grand Aus, mark again.

i hope it gets a seperate group, then we can tear the shit out of claims like "relaunch without the need for a seperate bridle"...

and also"the crossbow development started where the nova development stopped" yeh thats why the crossbow is the exact same kite that comes straight off surfplan when you hit the "make new kite" button.


i'm not doubting it works, i've seen the flexifoil proto flying, so i know it works, but i am looking for a little bit of fair marketing play here.

compare to the Nova I tried, the takoon kite had no pulley bar (bar design was similar of a classic bar just with a longer depower to kill off the power of the kite), I don't know how it works but usually you have twice load in your arms with such a bar. The kite I tried had not the same wingtip design (trailing edge was straigth) on the cab we can see a triangular tip.
Guys from takoon said that they stop to design kites with triangular tip to prevent bridles tangling during tumbling. I would like to know how cabrinah resolve it.

the takoon doesnt need the pulley bar action to make it turn.....

and i've heard the cabrinha design is 'very' heavy on the bar.
