i will get a chance in a week or so.. I'm real excited, Ive heard rumours the new tribal is a mix of impact with the tribals' integral depower... and the new f-one Demon boards look awesome, hopefully they will be bringing them in aswell.

Had a quick fly of the new Tribal yesterday. Nick was pretty close, the new Tribal is faster flying and turning than last year so a bit more Impact speed. The kite is lighter and has multiple attachment points to increase the wind range further. It retains the Integral depower system but is much simpler to set up, just like any 5 line kite really. I felt the bar feedback and turning fealt better than last years Tribal. Not enough wind for me to go out so I can't comment any further.

The new Impact is a low aspect wave specific kite only being made up to 9m and probably won't make it to AUS.

No plans for them to bring in the Demon this year. A shame really as the Demon was really good last year.
