Apparently a top priority, but they won't let it go till it's right. I keep hearing about a mass market release with several of the kites currently in the hopper, LEI included. To avoid the risk of saying something told me in confidence there are at least 4 depower kites (new or improved) in the pipeline right now. I think 2 of them have a higher priority and should be released together. The other 2 hopefully will come soon after.

what bob said......

I think there will be a somewhat of a mass release. the rumors from the PL headquarters sound that way, but its not a promise. just what i heard.

CH2 sounds like its in an earlier stage of development from the sound of things......... i may have some CH2 protos this fall if people want to come to MO and try them

the high pro version (can't give you names yet) is winning races and comps in EU.

its near ready *hint hint*

you will be happy to know the specs will be for all wind ranges / skill level.

a few patented things that you've known from PL to bring forward.

It would be good to know the average sizes riders use most?

If you reply with your sizes I can get a general idea what demos are needed

Please provide your feedback

Thank you

9M 12M. I used the 12M the most this year.
I read about 9 and 11 tested by Triag in waves. It would be interesting to know what sizes went through the most testing. I hope that the sizes are not scaled up around and down relative to the 1st designed size of a line. I have noticed other companies like Ocean Rodeo and North designing for specific sizes to make smaller sizes more stable and larger sizes turn faster.
Racing kite sounds interesting.
