FYI - New Pansh First Protos

Anyone see the new First proto??
www.panshkite.com
They kept the familiar white/black checker pattern and added a
white/every color ever made checker pattern ... interesting ... don't know if I like this multicolor graphic or not??

Guess I should have threaded this as a like/dislike poll for graphics ...

i think they are showing all the available colors one can pic from. i think the ad said "customizable colors" aside from standard black/white checkers. i could be wrong.

Interesting ....

Will this be a fixed bridle , close cell ? Fixed bridles never really seem to have taken off on the water. Still the closed cell will help with holding shape. May make for a great low wind engine?

Kites: 2.5m Profoil , Quadrifoil XL kitesurfer, NPW 5 Danger.
Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.
Flysurfer : 19m Speed 2 SA, 7m Pulse
Peter Lynn :18m Phantom, 15m Synergy, 10m Synergy, 1200 Farc, 460 Sarc, 130 Tarc, 5m Peel, 4.2m , 6.4, 8.5 C-Quads, 3.5 LS2 single skin.

Rides: Flexi / P.L. Frankin'Buggy , Shaped + straight skiis, sand skis, Coyote blades. Core 95 ATB. RKB R2 ATB .

It's a fixed bridle Ken, closed cell. It holds are pretty well and looks nice. Will get a small video or pictures up later in the day. It should be a gust muncher. The size I have is between a 3 - 4m. Super light bridling

The Flux is really good and I think they have lowered the price on it.

Will this kite come out in anything bigger than the 6m I see?

Closed cell is a big advantage for a low wind engine. Canucks kitesurfer XXXL is a fine example. I think those kites have a pretty light fabric for the day but the bridling holds them back a bit.

This kite in a 9 or 10m like the XXXL or larger even 12m could be a very interesting kite for our low winds ????
