Kiteboyza popped up a pic of something that looked awfully closed cell to me but didn't offer much of a report. I put this thread up in hopes he
dishes the dirt on the kite. Dying to hear.....Bladerunner - 28-5-2012 at 06:40 AM
There is a previous thread by Kiteboyza about this proto. I am short on time but just search his posts.
It is a closed cell FB.
I am interested in seeing how larger ones will work as low wind engines.kiteboyza - 28-5-2012 at 07:25 AM
Simple design, two inlets up front(leading edge) The one I am working on is a 3.7m. Stake it out and give it a tug and youre off. Takes one turn to
inflate fully and then handles very nice. Love brake input in the turns. You can send it out past the edge of the window and no collapse. This is a
kite for inland flyers for sure. Morrie had a few runs with it, downwind was good and upwind performance was very very good.kiteboyza - 28-5-2012 at 07:27 AM

Is this the Pansh Adam "lobster" kite?
Ridiculously low prices for smaller ones on their site.
Sounds more like a water-training kite than an inland one.
But it's not as wild looking as this particular custom "First" racer model!

a water training kite on handles?????
It is the adam, get one quick before they are all gone. I have the black and white version of the Firstmacboy - 2-6-2012 at 07:00 PM
D - What do you know about the custom colour options? The idea of a closed cell fixed bridle has me intrigued. And yeah - the way the sales pitch is
written it sounds like they are selling it for the water.canuck - 3-6-2012 at 08:49 AM

I like that.
My closed cell KiteSurfers are great for inland conditions but the XXL is prone to tip collapse at the edge of the window, then the tips get caught in
the bridle.
What wind range have you used the Adam 3.5 in? My XM is about the same size but needs 20-35 mph windsg00fba11 - 3-6-2012 at 05:27 PM
Has anyone done any body dragging with this kite yet?
How about snow/ice skiing or snowboarding?
I was only able to find a vid of a static flight so far.
Anyone toss one of these on a turbo bar?
These look like a good option for dirty wind areas.sand flea - 3-6-2012 at 07:39 PM
I had the chance to fly this and it was a very simple easy to fly kite.
Impossible to fly out of the widow, excellent for beginners as well as those that are more experienced and enjoy a simple fold proof kite.
We could actually run at the kite trying to collapse it and it wouldn't go down.
It was a blast!Cerebite - 7-6-2012 at 06:35 PM
I picked one up and took it out for a maiden [static] flight last week. I had to tweak the brakes a little and then it flew like a charm.
Interestingly the fat/ trapped inflation made reverse launches rather tricky :puzzled:
I then loaned it to a new guy that I had just met a couple of weeks ago who had been flying only single lines and he was flying beautiful figure 8's
in 10 -15 minutes and I had to pry the handles out of his hands when I had to leave for the night :singing:macboy - 7-6-2012 at 10:17 PM
From Pansh:

@Bigbear......You were logged into the Pansh site one day and saw your discount because you have purchased from them before......the next day you
looked you were not logged into the Pansh website and saw retail pricing again.......Pansh gives you a discount based on how much business you have
done with them in the past.......macboy - 8-6-2012 at 12:40 PM
You bet KB! Give me a ring when you're in. I'm around all day until 7:30pm. I believe there's even cold beer in the fridge! I'll U2U my addy.
