i want to play this weekend Gruzitski......wind looks nuking

Are you offering to lend me the beast for the weekend gruzitski???

did someone say break. I can do that.

We might be better off in the morning gruzitski, arvo could be a bit psycho if there are lots of squalls, but the pre front wind could be the better choice.

cool

can you launch and land the ion2 off a sand bag or fixed object??

matt from flexifoil said launching and landing using a fixed object can be done via the mini fifth line.

cheers

But I use either of those techniques

just like that. 5min vid if you got time to kill.

Had a nice hour in some ok wind today........finally I got to jump high again, I just love it.

This kite has a good low end and jumps like a mother

Relo, next time we play.

is this for real????? i have a 12.5m coming my way...



12.5m kites purchased between 1st May 2007 and 30th June 2007 have had the front toggles sewn at 30 degrees off from the correct orientation which causes a reduction in strength when flown in 5 line mode. No problems have been found with kites flown in 4 line mode. Please note that no other sizes of Ion2 in the range are affected.

If you intend to use your kite in 5 line mode, or want to take up the offer of the free modification, please return your kite only (no bag/bar/lines/pump) to your closest Flexifoil Repair Centre where a reinforcement will be added to take the 5th line loads in one of two ways...

Two modification options:

1. Fast-fix - a fast modification for demanding riders. You will be able to see that the kite has been fixed, but you will receive your kite back within 10 working days.

2. Flexifoil-Quality-Fix - a more involved modification which will be un-noticeable to the untrained eye, but will take up to 30 working days.

Please remember to include your full name, address and phone number with the package and to include a receipt for your postage costs. Once your kite is ready to be returned to you the Flexifoil Repair Centre will call you to arrange for reimbursement of your postage costs.

glad someone takes notice of my post . but can one be blamed for reading the rebel topic by default ... ;c)

I'm sooo excited!! Got a 12.5 and an 8.5 coming on Tuesday!!

If anyone on the sunny coast wants a try PM me.

With regards to depower, the max depower is only available on the hi wind settings.If things get hairy then pop the release as the kite is stable (and very depowered) when released to the front lines. The release is simple enough to rebuild with one hand

The relaunch is not the simplest but with a few tricks it is easy and fairly quick. The only time that is not so straightforward is when the kite is nose down straight downwind. To relaunch grab the top of the depower strap by the swivel and pull and release (depending on wind strength may have to move towards the kite to do this) to let the kite move onto its back then sheet in and point the bar at the kite and it will start to move to the side of the window, sheet out a bit to launch.
