What's happening @ 1:38. I am assuming that those are adjustment knots.

A voice over with descriptions of what we were seeing would have been helpful. Some things are obvious, but others less so.

ATB,
Sam

Nice to get a first look. It has some elements of Ocean Rodeo Rise. I like the 5 strut design. My 09 Rise has the 5 struts and I like it better than the newer ones without a center strut. North has center struts in their kites. The struts look very slim. The stitching of the design looks like it was well placed to strucure the canopy.
That is not the way to solo land an LEI. I'm sorry it is not a fixed bridle.

Voice over would have been in italian. His blog translated in Google Chrome reads:
Italian preview for the long-awaited debut of Peter Lynn Fury, the first of the historic brand LEI traction kite. The wind was really marginal conditions for 13 - scarrocciava is well with the Speed ​​19 and the plank - but the PL team rider Pieffe was curious to see up close and calm with which the kite Peter Lynn, always at the top foil of the world, is part of the inflatable market. Next steps, weather permitting, a detailed test in water and then the arrival dell'Escape, the other LEI in production and performance oriented than the wave.

I am scared of the land. Actually I was never a big water person. I was always the last to get in the water but man it is so amazing getting out there and when I crash it does not hurt. I kited the surf at Dillon Beach yesterday and did not think about whitey at all. It was in the 30s' and I was flying my 7M. :wee: It was goodtimes. Wish you were there.

What size valves are on it? Oh ick regular ones huh :(
Covers on the tube clamps - good... and other things looks like attention has been paid to details which is good too :)
5 strut sounds good too - I think 7 is over-kill and 3 not enough.
Chunky looking bar too - thicker than the original Nav?
Looks to be a higher AR than I thought it would be too... looks more like an Xbow...

Back-stall landing - nice :)



Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

So the 11M Fury came in 2nd. The POV kiter was flying an Escape. 10KM wow that is a long way to go in one direction.
POV dude needs to keep his bobblehead still or hit the video in post with the antishake stick.
