I just heard from my Kite designer Momi, that the RACER 11, 14, 17 have been taking 2nd, 4th and 5th place in some competitions they have been doing in Israel. Way to go guys. The RACER have been a great success in the demos here in Paros "Greece". It is just a different kite. People can't beleive the power it generates once it starts moving.

Tried the 11 RACER in Paros - Hellas the other day. Have noticed 3 things. 1) This kite HAS POWER. A lot of power and its fast. 2) Its dedicated for the expierencer racer. 3) It needs a bar with MORE depower . If it was CAR it would be a Ferrari. Period.

Ellinas, Can you go into more detail about how the kite flys? What board were you using? Where in the window did it sit once parked. Did it seem to want to pull you with the wind or along the wind? How was the relaunch? Did it have a tendency to over fly?...etc

Yes please Mr. ELLINAS can you elaborate more on the RACER 11 that you demoed. What you liked and what you did not like about the kite. What other kites have you tested to compare the RACER with, and so on... Thank you. P.S. These are few more pictures of the demos we did again yesterday in Paros "Greece". I just hope it is not windy tomorrow. We all need a break.

How was the relaunch? Did it have a tendency to over fly?...etc I tried the 11 racer in totally under powered AND super gusty conditions. For sure its not an easy kite. I ride and am used to Cabrinhas. I also find that the Edge is a super easy race kite with easy handling. On the other side the RACER isnt an easy kite BUT it feels so full of energy that i didnt feel on other race kites. In Paros i didnt have my raceboards (aguera 69 & royal stealth 70) so i had to use an old aguera 59 or something with....4 fins. So as u understand i couldnt make the most out of it but i understood one thing : the racer is a super high aspect racing maschine flying at the edge of the window creating loads of power that i didnt feel in other racing kites (my opinion). Most important Dimitri: the racer NEEDS another bar with huge depower.

Quote: the racer NEEDS another bar with huge depower. Thank you for the bar input Mr. ELLINAS. Will add an extra 15cm of throw on the Race bars. But yes it is crazy how much power these RACER kites generates especially from the apparent wind. Thanks.
