Just got the 2011 Hadlow Pro in today (Thanks Angus from Coastal Wind Sports!) and right out of the bag this kite exudes performance. Bomber LE
construction, kevlar scuff pads and a beautiful outline.
It comes with set up as a Fifth line kite, but it can be set up as a 4-line and you can throw a pulley on the front lines that gives you massive
de-power. Of course the wind does'nt look to be on for the next few days, but look out for an extensive review in the near future!BeamerBob - 11-2-2011 at 07:38 AM
I'm really looking forward to hearing how you get along with this animal.tridude - 11-2-2011 at 02:53 PM
came home from work, turned the corner, and a front yard full of Hadlow.............................nice looking kite for sure and the quality you
would expect from Flexi...........................line set up sewn/silk screened into the bag, pockets with parts for each config, attention to detail
from in the kite, bar, and bag...................I remember when Flexi was the hot ticket on PKF...................................:duh:burritobandit - 11-2-2011 at 03:39 PM
Maybe it'll give fleech and tridude some ideas on what to do under them macboy - 11-2-2011 at 05:58 PM
Man....if THAT'S what it takes to get sponsored by RedBull (to get my RedBull kite) it's gonna be a while.
A LONG while. I'll have better luck trying to befriend Hadlow or Chasta, invite them to a poker night in the garage and ante up a Peter Lynn hoping
they call with the Ozones or the Flexis tridude - 11-2-2011 at 07:27 PM
He did a sesh last summer with AH and RLen10.........he's got the handle pass, and s pins down..................he rides mainly strapless (what CWS
and Flexi both liked in his vids)....................for me at 53 Im just glad to be out there, throw a few jumps, ride toeside, and hit a few waves
down the line.........and make it back in one piece..................:duh:mgatc - 11-2-2011 at 08:25 PM
Congrats Nate!
Nice rideacampbell - 12-2-2011 at 09:16 AM
Nate's kite is identical to Aaron's, minus the sponsor logos. Just remember, ride it 4-line and there essentially is no safety!nfleech - 15-2-2011 at 03:33 PM
Alright so I finally got out on the new Sexi Flexi, siiiiick kite!
Flew the kite in about 15-20mph in the 6 line mode. Which works by taking apart the 5th line Y at the kite and adding two extensions onto the front
lines of the kite, peace of cake to figure out and really makes it solid in the air. The kite was so solid in the air, didn't even have to worry about
where it was at with the really good bar pressure (not too much, not too little).
Fast, fast, fast kite for a 13m and had plenty of depower through the throw, not trying to pimp out this kite but it was super solid and responsive.
First kiteloop I slammed hard and so did the kite, not a problem re-launching at all, pulled one rear line and boom right back in the air, crashed it
on the side of the window after a spoiled railey and again no problem. Un-hooked it didnt float too far back into the window but stayed steady right
where I put it which makes in nice to try new tricks.

Late update, but I took the 13m on a downy last week in very weak SW winds 15mph max. Rode my 5'9 Stretch strapless, because its a surfboard and I use
it like one! This kite floats perfectly downwind whilst you are surfing towards it, you don't have to worry about it falling out of the window one
bit. Rolled it in a few of our HUGE 4 ft waves and it came out just fine, this kite has been nothing short of amazing so far. Ready to get on a
landboard with it at JIBE!
