PICS PL0X! :D :wee: I am PSYCHED about this kite!
Chris, how does the Matrixx handle wind gusts? Out here in Texas we have the punchiest wind I've ever seen. 12 mph gusting to 25 is what I usually
have to deal with.

Yeah I noticed while flying it at JIBE that if you oversheeted the kite that it would tip tuck and slide slightly back into the window, almost
clapping wing tips. But it remained stable otherwise. Sheet it out a bit and it flattens out nicely.

In speaking with Chris, he mentioned that the Matrixx bridle does not have adjustment loops like the Flysurfers do. Does anyone consider this an
issue? Over time, I would imagine that the kite would need to be retuned due to stretching of the main lines, but I'm not sure how this would be
easily accomplished with the Matrixx.
Also, Chris was not sure as to my question in regards to the Matrixx ripstop and if it compares to the Flysurfer regular fabric or the deluxe fabric.
The trim cleat on the Matrixx appears to be similar to the North ones that "bite" into the trim line. Is this actually the case?

Jump on to the XK forum here: Matrix thread George has been spending a lot of time with the 15m and he recently got the 9m - he'll know.
