What's on your shopping list after NABX?
I saw some people flying some pretty neat stuff this NABX and have been putting together my wish list of new toys :-)
I was pretty impressed with the guys flying the Yakuza in no wind, and it was a pretty sweet kite when the wind picked up also. I was also surprised
at the number of people with PL Arc type kites - were they Venoms? Also the Flexifoil guys with the large B IVs looked pretty impressive... I've
always been put off getting a Blade since I prefer to stay on the ground, but that large Blade they had was giving them some serious pull even when
the wind was low.
What are some of the things you guys saw this year that caught your eye?
Quadrifoil Q2002 1.5m
PKD Century 2.5m
Flexifoil Skytiger 40 3.7m & Hi60 5.6m
PKD Century 4.5m
Pansh Blaze I 12.5m
1997 Flexifoil original buggy - a few weld repairs but still going strong :-)

That 15m NPW AJ was flying (I believe I heard it was Susan's?), have to get into something like that. Cruising at very low winds.
The new IV8 Kitewing David from Candy and Kites brought out. Also a Rage 5.5
Chip's Leather Clad Buggy
The new blades are looking pretty sweet. Wouldn't mind trying one of those on a crossover setup.

Oh and of course I have to get the newest sheet to mount to my board for those ripper wind days
And all SORTS of GREAT ideas in general from camping to kiting to riding. Thanks everybody
If you think it\'s hard explaining HOW something works, try explaining WHY it doesn\'t work.

After flying Ken's 2.5m Razor when the wind picked up enough to make my 3m Sam too unruly for me, I've got the hots for some Yakuzas.

Most of the PL arcs were Phantoms, discountinued. But you can still find them; check out ebay item #170097373494 for a 6m. Would only be good in
winds 20+, but it is a great kite for El Mirage on a usual day.
