Tomorrow night should be more big wind/big swell, 7M for me!

Ikite forecast for the weekend is good, but I think the low coming in is going to add a bit of an edge to the wind. Hopefully it won't go SW on us like NWS is saying.

Did you find the Vegas you were looking for? Or did you go Rebel or Link? Wade

I am curious, is it beneficial in any way to have the kite partially flagged when depowered? The only perk i could think of, other than not having an additional line, is that the kite isnt rolled over as it is still blowing downwind a little bit making it less likely to flip around. But how do they make it so it doesnt toss and turn like a conventional 4 line? Hmmm, looks nice. Now if they can only do it without bridles and pulleys!

Finished the Demo days with a BANG! Sherman was giving it all it has on Sunday for sure. Got the chance to bring out the 5M T2's. Hands down the best little kite around.

To those who had a chance to give a T2 or REV a try, thanks for making my life easy! No lost gear, busted kites, and no one got hurt or stranded. You know when a demo is going good when nothing happens but stoked riders.

Also it was nice to meet the local slingy crew and others that made my trip hella cool, THANKS for the bro down.

Till next time Cheers and now go send it!

REV stands for Link REVised =D>
