Yesterday I had the pleasure of testing one of Lee's Buzz kites. We sat around at Lake Illawarra in the rain with about 4knots of wind. Very optimistically we pumped up his 12m Harmony under the shelter of an umbrella. Then there was a gap in the rain with the hope of the wind increasing we chucked it in water for a drift launch. Then out of nowhere 15knots of very patchy south westerly struck the lake. Up the kite went. I strapped on his Stinger board and headed off. Within 100m I felt I knew this kite as it felt so predictable. So hard on the edge I went sent the kite to 12 oclock and boom up I went. Next I wanted to know how it would drift so downwind I turned let the bar go and travelled about 30m with slack lines, back on the edge, bar in and the Harmony was powered up. In such a patchy breeze I managed with very little effort to hit 40kph on my Rip Curl GPS watch. I headed in an out a few more times boosting and power jumping just to see what this kite could do. Then just before the rain hit I started throwing up darkslides which for me is a trick I'm hesitant to do as I've been slammed too many times. But I just felt so comfortable with the Harmony that I could step out of my comfort zone. We used the advanced bridle and it turned quick. It kitelooped and downward looped with ease. Then the rain hit and we had to pack up. Having done alot of kite repairs for customers and myself in the past I was very pleased to see the quality of the construction on this kite, lots of dacron on the wing tips and trailing edge. Even the stitching on the centre canopy was done in a way that it would prevent large rips in the surf or nuclear conditions. Overall I was very pleased with the Harmony and can not wait to stock them in my store.
Thank you for bringing your product to Wollongong.
