3,6kg a 17m2 kite!
not bad, half a kilo liter than 17th edge.
looking forward to try the jet.
previous year kites were a real blunder because of their poorly designed bridles and bigger size kites high weight, too heavy and too slow to turn. i had to make over the bridles on both jekyll and hatch.

looks really good, can't wait to try out the new gear, perfect sizes also, now with the new 4 kites alowed rules in racing.

first goal for the jet was to get it light! then they did a lot of work on the bridles!
tried some prototypes and they were turning really nice - looking foreward to get my racegear soon!
