Not exactly ground breaking (actually a bit old), but I came across this recently, don't remember a post on it and didn't find anything with a quick search here.

Not really any details, but nice to hear nonetheless. Their blade FB seems legendary, and I've heard good things about their LEI kites. I would imagine they could put together a pretty reasonable depower unit.

The Flexifoil Sabre and and then Sabre II were Flexifoil's depower foils. Then Flexifoil went through a downsizing/reorganizing phase, which included retiring the Sabre II.

They lost two of their designers who left to start Mutiny Kites.

Nice to see they will have a new depower foil offering.

This would a fine time for them to bring back the Midnight or even Punk color schemes ;)

even though henry left... the leis are still getting better. I got the chance to fly a mutiny when henry show up at my beach and the kites are very nice, nicer still is there bar... can't wait to see what the depower foil looks like!

I too am glad that Flexi will re-enter the depower foil market. There aren't many options for open cell depowers these days.
