I didn't get out with the Yeti yet but I like what I see.
I was thinking that maybe I should hold on to this kite and take it to SOBB as well ? That wouldn't get it on the road to Macboy until Sept. 3 or 4 .
It would allow anyone at SOBB who choses to give it a go !
If Edmonton is lucky, maybe Macboy can take it snow kiting
What do you think Rip' ?
If you can't get off work I can take some other loaners down to SOBB for you as well ?

Snow in September? You'd call that lucky? :singing:
No rush on my end. SOBB would surely be good to get more hands on it.

bring it down to SOBB if Macboy can wait. the more that can try it the better Mr.kitesuf could get some more feedback good or bad. Input is the key =)
thx for taking down the Yeti ... i'll be passing you the Firewall 3m and 8m as well. you might want to meet up with Evotz (Ken Eckland)
i guess no takers on my XXtreme ApeXX ... oh well. i'll sit on it in my living room day dreaming (riding with Jon / Eli / Jim / Stacey, and gang) and
the fun everyone is having at SOBB.

We have been tinkering with the Yeti.:ticking:
I have learned that I don't know diddly about how to adjust a bridle. :duh:
I have tried it on every knot setting possible and the general feeling of those few who know depower foils around here is it is a bit of a dud
:puzzled:
Rip' has left this kite with me to self teach about bridle adjustment It
clearly needs one.
Like the rest of the Mr. Kitesurf line this kite looks pretty well made but so far not been able to win us over. I know this kite is capable of flying
a whole lot better than we have it ! I think there is a 10 and 14 on the way ? If I don't manage to get this one to fly proper before the others come
in I think Rip' may still send a 10 around for snow kite season?
Sorry for the delay !

i'm not a depower bridle expert, and i dont want to spend the time fixing a product that should come from the factory / manufacture perfect, only
having to adjust my flying lines only.
i feel consumers / fliers deserve a product that they can fly out of the bag without having to research bridle lengths, adjustments.
the bigger sizes are coming, and lets see what they have in store for us.
so far Mr.Kitesurf Depower is low on my books, but the Firewall is o-k-a-y for the price and not having to adjust stuff, but the logo turns me off big
time.
*back to adjusting my racekites for max performance*

I presently have the Yeti.
We have decided it's not flying right. I am going to make a side project of re-working the bridle. We won't be passing it on unless I can figure out
why it flies so bad. This will be my introduction in to bridle adjustment so will be a learning experience . I think Ripsession is a bit put off that
it should need tinkering so this model may not get His go ahead. :dunno:
It is a shame because the kite isn't poorly made !
