Where in the world did you get an air evo?

Dude, you need to get someplace you can ski with that. the float on that in the mountains is UNBELIEVABLE.

Let me know how you get on with it with a board.

And if you don't want to talk publically, can you pm me with the price you paid for that and where you got it?

Very cool and innovative kite.

Its like you and DaVinch single handedly drive the kite economy with the number of kites you rotate :o :wow: not a dig, just jealous :wink2:

Lookin' good Tridude. I don't know much about them, so I'm looking forward to your full review.

If you get time, can you post some pictures of the bar and safety also?

Thanks!

Hey B,

No probs! I thought you might know of the Evos ability in the mountains. Their vids are wicked! I got it from Option Kite in Quebec City! Owner is awesome--he sold me his 10M and had only been flown twice! Honestly, this is the nicest kite Ive flown to date. The construction is quality all the way--Porcher ripstop, carbon bar, sewn bidles, etc, but the mylar flaps are truely innovative. The 07 model acts independently of each other providing speed and stability thru turns. You really have to get it wrong for this kite to fall from the sky! The lift is awesome and very floaty, and she flies in almost no wind. Safety features are simple, effective and easy to deploy. After 10 mins or so of flying static, hopped on the board and bang, what a ride. Worked up wind nicely, stable and powerful at the edge of the window, and popped a couple nice jumps!! All in all, a top kite! Will pm you about the price!

Tried one at flexi-wallop last year, they are amazing..
shame they aren't more popular would be great to see them developed further and take on Ozone in the mountains!

I think Ozone might want to pay attention!

One guy in Quebec sells them. His name's Hugo. See his web site option kite

prices are canadian, 1425$ cdn for the 10m.

Already bought an ozone frenzy from him. Had a good service

hangtime is always huge in mountains

the wind blows upward because of the mountain slope

that is why ozone, air evolution, flysurfer etc... will shoot their promotional snowkite videos in the alpes

tridude - 10-4-2007 at 10:43 PM

Of course hang time is huge when the winds are updrafting! I was born at night but not last night!:lol:
