All:

When you read Bill's Comparison, make sure you take into account the Elevation of Tahoe (5,000 ft?) Higher air is thinner, so it makes more kite to get the same amount of pull that we get down here at Sea Level. I imagine that it would be a much better comparison to see the Crossbow and Sonic at the same place, with back to back sessions

When Ollie is flying at Berkeley, he's a one man billboard for WW. Especially during that rush hour traffic.

You too, Charlie.

I'm supported by Windwing and in turn I support them. They make great gear. However, I ride a couple RRD kites also and am open-minded, so don't think I'm too biased. The credibility of this site comes first. Good gear speaks for itself.

The kite was a proto from 2005 and some minor bridles the R&D team worked on back then were on the kite. It was not a 2006 Rapture2 as speculated.

We are still on schedule for shipping on the 15th. Bill is in China and is very pleased with what he sees. We'll post some pictures and news on what is going on tomorrow.
