8m Outlaw Spotted in Edmonton


Walking the dog, came up out of the ravine into the field by my place and was treated to a sneak peek at a new 8m Outlaw. Looks like a nice rig. Pricey, but dude was diving it right through the powerzone and it sheeted out so nice for him he hardly struggled yet a little work upstairs and he was struggling to keep his feet on the ground.

One day, one day......very nice. Cool graphics too - very out of the ordinary for Flysurfer. They really stepped out of their box on this one.

Kinda had to snicker when he demonstrated the kite's stability at zenith. "You hardly have to touch the bar" he said as he caught the kite every 10 seconds to gently redirect :singing: Kept my quiver to myself.

I'd say "Cool" but I think that's the kite it's replacing !

No use trying to convince Edmonton people that P.L. has some better qualities for inland. It sounds like they aren't all that open to suggestions ?

So ...... did you invite Him to join your ever growing crew ?

Yeah, he was there with the guy. I think it was delivery / test fly day or something.

Why the stress on the word "Importer"? Is he not supposed to be selling direct to consumers? Just curious - not my business, not gonna get into it but interested in how the kite retail world ticks.
