My Comments:

hell gusty green head yesterday,

first time flown

general observations

kite very well built, solid construction, a bit heavier than a reo
does have battens and pulleys

new pump system a synch

bar and lines
very smick looking but too many fancy clip plastic bits on bar ends, interesting to see how long they last
ironheart 4 and rest of safety stuff solid as

4 line, didn't try safety yesterday due to gusty wind and weedy beach
maybe next time at scabs

in the air
was 50% depowered
safety line - red - a bit loose in the air but that's only cosmetic

solid leading edge and frame , no deformation in gusts and powering up

good depower and steering not noticeably heavy at all

lovely drift, gotta say does its brief, just hangs there and floats, either when slightly under run the kite on a turn or down the wave

pulled well up wind

no complaint at all flying it, was too gusty/windy to really squirt it around like i would a smaller kite but overall first impression - yeah

will work very very well at g'loo
