I think I gotta find somewhere with a little terrain to ride.

That was a pretty sweet location - the one place I've been trying to go (no winds for the past 2 weeks) is pretty small in comparison - and its flanked on either side by trees - gusty. Its an airport at blue canyon on the way up the sierras - I am far too lazy to go out of my way to go to the good places - mt. shasta, the mysterious place near kirkwood - all Nor Cal joints. Don't really have any experience kite skiing yet - tried it last year with a fixed bridle kite in gusty conditions - waste of time. I hope this year is different. Nice link.

The yellow kite with grey at the beginning is a Canadian made kite. The Smart kite from Concept Air. Very nice little vid. Maybe even a Canadian rider????

Is the Smart 2 a bridle modification of the original Smart? Or is the Smart 2 a prototype for the next version of the smart kite?

It is SMART 2: modification of the contour (thickness) of the sail, suspentes, and its elliptical form, the system of securite on blocks it ... Always this enorme possibilitée to sail in the strong wind ... It always has its short and powerful turn... you can jump in air even longer...
It is definitely another version...To go BEN makes us rever...
