Sorry for the long delay, but .... I took it out to the beach to snap a few pictures, wind picked up to 20kts, and I took it out for one last ride-
hitting big floaty jumps and trying to remember why I'm selling this kite. Soo, out for a second session in gusty 20kts- hit by a lull in the middle
of a backroll kiteloop and ...... big wipe out. Broke the bar, 5th line, and tore quite a few LLCs off the canopy. Kite needs some
more detangling- nearly done.
Considering I'm still selling the kite it's probably not that smart to share this story, but (other than the bar) the kite survived the crash quite
well. The LLCs did what they're supposed to do- tear away and save the canopy! I would love to see a tube kite take a hit like that!
