I still believe it's still pilot more than gear. You can have all the best gear in the world but it's no use if you can't control it.

Crossbows? Man if they were on Speed's they would have smoked them 
Personally, I'm wondering at all the hoo-hah the kiters are making about a measly 55 knots when Feyd goes faster on arcs 
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

I agree with the pilot theory on this one. Kevin Pritchard has been around a long time and one of the best "Pole Surfers" around with a great track
record. The "Off the shelf 2 cam sail" is a major indicator of the skill factor involved in winning that event.

conditions.
