It has made land fall and it's time to share the news.
The Buster Soulfly Pro is only available here in the States for now. You can get them from Coastal Wind Sports and through me at this time.
The new Buster Soulfly Pro comes in 2.2m, 3.3m and 4.4m. The Buster Soulfly is still available in the 1.5m and 2.2m. The kite is now made of the same material as the Century and the bridle is also the same as the Century. A new kite bag that is rather fine looking and the kite is RTF. That means ready to fly. Not RTA, ready to assemble, or all the parts are there, or anything else for that matter.
Open the bag, pull out the handles and unwind the lines and shake the kite out and you are off. Everything is put together. A kite killer and a ground stake complete the package.

The colors are a bit more vibrant and the kite performs better than before. Not that the Buster Soulfly was a dog, just that the Pro is better than ever.
I will take pictures at Jibe and post them asap. If you are around for a bit, stop by and give one a test drive. Or not.
Now for the cost. As said in other advertizements, the price is so low, we cant advertize it. Wait a minute, I can sell them for what ever I want. How about .99 cents each? Not in my life time. But not a bad Idea.

What do you think Angus? Should we give one away?

Jeff, send me a set ASAP

I'll take a few of each size at 99 cents. More seriously though, I would love to try a fixed bridle other than my legend. I can't stand the constant luffing. It's enough to drive a person insane. If you decide to give one away, put my name on the list. I'd love to see what a real fixed bridle feels like. And then I would have a kite I could let my friends try.

MDK, u2u sent:D

Can't wait to see the pics!
WELDNGOD said once I fly one, you and my checking account will become best friends. LOL
:evil:

BigKid.....@ .99 cents I will take 100 of them....You haven't bought one of those counterfeit pens yet have you?

Love to see the graphics and I hope that all your other BigKid kite/equipment sales go well for you. You don't deserve that kind of treatment.

Enjoy JIBE

I guess that means I got the first one... :P:P:P Jeff,I will be needing a 2.2 ,a 3.3 and another 1.5 as well. But not a rushdeal,as we are at the end of the season.....maybe.......

Is that 2.2 pro still purple?
This may be the perfect kite to replace Kristin's, which as some know got misplaced at WBB.
And would serve me as a high wind buggy engine!

:dunno:

OK Mike, where did you get the pics? Never mind, looks like Shri Lanka in the back ground.
Yep those are it.

The 1.5 is the purple one, that one stayed the same. You can get the BS in 1.5m and 2.2m in the original material. The new Pro comes in only the 2.2m, 3.3m, and the 4.4m.

If anyone is interested in trying out a 3m kite of any type make or model, or compare the 2-3.3m busters, see me at Jibe tomorrow.

I'll see you tomorrow, sometime.

Jeff, I think the 1.5 was green 2.2 purple 3.3 blue and 4.4 orange. the 2.2 I have is purple. I realize they have changed the colors around a little for the pros but wouldn't the 1.5 and 2.2 std buster remain the same or did they change those too. I kind of wish they left the 3.3 pro blue but oh well

Thanks for the pix MDK!
Is there just one kite killer?

Like the give away idea Bigkid
Sounds like good contest material, or bribery with Butterfinger Fudge from KHK :evil:

Sure, maybe raffle one off with the proceeds to the Sea Turtle Center? I have tickets somewhere...

This is going to drive me crazy untill I go look. I know the 3.3 Pro is green, or is it?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, sounds good.
$1.00 a ticket?

My 2.2 is purple, I just got it last week, wish I had had waited a bit longer!!
Would love to feel the difference!

I know for a fact that only 1 of those pics are from shri lanka, the rest are from MY facebook page....:P


Here's one I didn't post yet.

Sadly, I have come to rely on my trusty KKs because of choppy inland winds. I fly a semi big field, but when the wind blows from the wrong direction......:o
It's either deal with it, or go home. So, I cope (most of the time). I'm sure it's no big deal to secure an additional KK if need be.

Anyhoo....
Guys. As far as the (potential) raffle. If it was to become, any way for us non-JIBE fellers' to ante-up?? Paypal?? Just a thought. Prolly too much to keep up with being on the road with JIBE though.

perhaps I like the idea of the newer heavy duty fabric, and different line-set, but the exciting new graphics? no not so much so from the limited spy shots posted here. Meh.


Jeff, how about real performance specs like airfoil shape / aspect ratio? what are the new generation performance trim mods, or just different graphics and lines?

As has been their biz model, "you don't fly the bag".


I'm curious about the new price-point change if any..........but I'm more interesting in airfoil refinement.

I did use the Kite killer and lines from thr BS Pro this wknd. I don't suggest using the red and blue leaders to the lines if buggying,they get in the way and get hung up on the footpegs. I had to take them off and just go to one side with the killer. Which is how I do anyway. I have video from Saturday showing this. When I'm done editing it ,I'll post it.

Thanks Bro! I am here to be educated, and scoop up tips and tricks. Didn't know one KK and two leaders was an option. Does make sense though (embassased now I am). I will go to bed smarter this night :D

Is it a different line set? They look pretty similar....

As soon as this rain gets outta here I'll fly the 4.4 pro. I was going to do that Saturday ,but it became a noreaster on us. I would like it to be a nice day,so it will look good in the pics. I will post up a review soon

New for the Pro series Buster:
1. fabric same as Century II (lighter for better performance)
2. Bridle same as Century II (less resistance better performance)
3. Brighter colors (2.2 blue, 3.3 green, 4.4 orange)

the line set and graphics appear to be the same as the standard Buster.
the standard Buster colors are 1.5 green, 2.2 purple, 3.3 blue, and 4.4 orange, unless they have recently changed. hope this clears things up

standard Buster colors

In my opinion I would be disappointed if they made any changes to the AR or the design of the foil. this kite performs as it should, fast and stable! I nearly kept pace with 9m Phantoms with the Standard 3.3 Buster and the standard line set. this kite took me to nearly 50 MPH! I think they made the right changes and I can't wait to see where the Pro series takes me....55? 60? now I probably will put one of my century line sets on it, but for RTF that is what you'll get.

Mike ,the lineset that came with the 4.4,is a pretty heavy set. I doubt you would need to change them.
