flexifoil depower foil coming 2013
Not exactly ground breaking (actually a bit old), but I came across this recently, don't remember a post on it and didn't find anything with a quick
search here.

Not really any details, but nice to hear nonetheless. Their blade FB seems legendary, and I've heard good things about their LEI kites. I would
imagine they could put together a pretty reasonable depower unit. |

The Flexifoil Sabre and and then Sabre II were Flexifoil's depower foils. Then Flexifoil went through a downsizing/reorganizing phase, which included
retiring the Sabre II.
They lost two of their designers who left to start Mutiny Kites.
Nice to see they will have a new depower foil offering.
This would a fine time for them to bring back the Midnight or even Punk color schemes

I too am glad that Flexi will re-enter the depower foil market. There aren't many options for open cell depowers these days.
