Being new and at 40 I'm ready to push it a little. (Saftey first also.) I know what you are saying about trying to jump pretty scary way to get respect first before trying to jump. Let me know if you ever want to part with that blade ok? after getting a Haka what more could you want? man I love the look of that kite! Take care.

I received my 3 M Haka last Friday and flew it for the first time last Sunday and so far my first impression of it is one of a superiorly built and designed kite, very fast and just plain beautiful. Although I'm not an expert, static-flying the kite in approximately 12 to 17 mph wind was a blast, and pumping the handles while traveling sideways in the power zone was like a super charger kicking in. The Haka also generate tremendous pull and although i dont know how to jump yet am almost sure this is a kite i'll learn from. It doesn't come with KK though and in order for anyone to fly it effectively on a buggy one must change the strop to a longer one.
My Haka was courtesy of www.awindofchange.com and it arrived in 2 days after ordering with a free killer Ozone t shirt. Thanks Kent!!!

Glad you like the Haka. One awesome kite for sure. Hope the T-shirt works for you as well. Get that Haka in a buggy or board and you'll really love it. The strop that comes with the Ozone kites is quite short and really needs to be a bit longer, especially if your using it in the buggy. I think they should include the kite killers instead of the strop...but that's just me.

Anyways, let us know how it goes for you!
