Seems OK to me...Does it attempt to load in a browser?

Link worked on my computer with Chrome. Didn't try it on my phone though. Nice looking wing.

Yeah - nothing special - just a new toy of mine to complement kiting activities :-)

I passed my CP paragliding exam last week. This was my second out-of-school flight up at Devils Dyke. Nill wind but OK for top-to-bottom.

I thought it was an interesting point given that these are made by the same company (Skywalk) as Flysurfer kites - and also to see the convergence of large high performance kite foils and paragliders.

Congrats on passing the Hang II (probably not called that anymore). Looks like a nice gentle spot for a sled run. You will have a whole lot of fun flying around.

My only advice would be to choose your conditions carefully. There is absolutely nothing worse than being in the air, wishing you were on the ground...

Kites have been influenced by paragliders for a long time. Gin, Ozone, Flysurfer etc... all started out as paraglider companies and either split off or separated their businesses to take advantage of the increasing interest in kiteboarding. I remember Wills Wing was also experimenting with a ram air hang glider at one point.
