Turbolauncher ... rapid setup with no more tangled lines?

[OliverG]

A couple of weeks ago, some info on these was posted and I think some folks were making fun of it at the time, based on it's looks. Someone mentioned something about a rhino-phallic sysmbol, but it's only fair to give this thing a chance. Is anyone here ready to give this a try? If no one else steps up, I'd be happy to give it a shot.

I think I started something with the flow bee comment...but it is true and the photo above of the control bar with the 3 reels was invented by the flow bee guy (now a multi millionaire kiter).

Send me one and I will make an honest review. I will buy 3 if it works.

I have been to both Squamish and 3rd.... and Squamish is nothing like 3rd..... 3rd has so much more open space to launch from..... and can be done away from rocks... Although Squamish is probably my 2nd or 3rd all time favorite kiting spot... the launch is really sketchy... BTW... If you are serious about sending a sample out, send one my way. I manage a kitesurfing school and would be interested in looking in to a line management system

Hey guys,
We already have a prototype and looks interesting indeed.
Furthermore I will be in Vancouver this weekend so we will get a chance to check it at Squamish.
If anyone wants to take a look at the turbolauncher in the Bay area please let me know.

I'm always open to new ideas. I want to know how well this thing works but I shouldn't be the one to test it. I'm too new to be trusted with wierd shit. But if any of the regulars here can post a real review I can certainly trust that. If hes willing to let us try it we really ought to. Nothing like missing out on the next big thing. I would like it if I could park my bar 2 feet from my kite.
