That looks really good - has anyone here flown one yet?

I would like to try out a 10m :thumbup:

Robert Graham is a good kite designer - If I'm correct, he designed the hot Quadrifoil Comp X series, including the Kitesurfers XS - XXXL.

I'll bet the build quality is great. So now they have a fifth line safety - not such a big deal IMHO. I need to know what the depower range is on the kite before I'd get excited. I haven't had the chance to fly a FS Pulse 2 or Psycho 4, but I have to say I like my PL G2 for autostability, and my '06 Cab Xbows and Switchblades for huge depower range. Safety first, and all that.

:wow: If Gin makes 1/2 as good a kite as what I have heard and seen then this is BIG NEWS :wow:

A fellow and his wife use Gin at Green Lake Whistler. Older ones but the quality and smooth flight is there !

I've been curious about Gin foils ever since I saw them. Along with Ozone and now HQ they seem to be one of the only mfr's with a full lineup of depower open cell foils. I wonder how the pricing stacks up.

I'm debating getting a 10m Eskimo III over another Outlaw. The reviews sound good - just need to find out a little more...

After reading the reviews and talking to a few guys that have flown the Eskimo III, I decided to order a 10m in Kiwi today.

Should be here in a week :thumbup:
