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
