Hope a video or two is coming. Nice to get film and feedback independent of the company's promos.

Look forward to watching.

Okay, there was ZERO wind today. We kinda hung around the kitchen BS'n and finally decided that even with the lack of wind we should head out and at least see if we could get the 9m in the air.

When I saw it launch it was just plain creepy. :o The only reason we knew the "wind" direction was because we could see our breaths. It jumped up like nothing.

Was the peak as easy to launch as the promo videos?
Can you sense if there would be massive bridle tangling?

Is there anyone in the Chicago area with a demo?

That's pretty neat, Feyd. Did it actually produce some power at all in that zero wind? Wish you caught a video of that! Did you need to prop it up to inflate or just pull back on the bar and go?
If I can feel the wind moving my hair, that's enough to launch my 7m NPW. But it's not really of any use other than looking at

Someone reportedly has a Peak around here, I saw a video of them flying on Spray Lakes. Hope I run into them sometime and get to see it in action!

It did generate enough pull that the rider had to lean into the harness a bit. Enough to pull on firm snow/ice for sure.


A local rider took the 6m out yesterday. Winds were 12mph gusting to 25mph. Snow was about 1.5' deep. This is what they reported...

The kite turns fast and it can turn really fast if you cheat it. We thought that it would need an active trim system but the consensus is that it does not. The kiter yesterday never felt the need to trim. Depow is like an SLE. Put the bar out, the kite flutters like crazy and dumps power. Looks terrible but flies and functions fine.

Stability was excellent and the consensus is that a confident high wind rider can easily manage the kite beyond it's stated wind range. Kite is surprisingly fast.

With it's level of depow and lack of cells it would make a killer kite for beginners as well as experts.
