lol.
Some kite competitions are easy to enter...
Some are hard.
This one requires a bit of effort.
The upside is that contestant numbers will be limited....
So odds for winning are good.

You've got less than a month to get yourself to the kitestore,
grab a demo kite,
get to the beach,
score some wind,
and then write up a gear review and post it on Seabreeze.
Phew.
lol.

PS. The last time I made the trip up to Choicey...
I found the shop locked up and a note on the front door.
"Gone kitesurfing in Exmouth, back tomorrow (date)".

Doh.

do you want to pimp any harder???
say something good about my kites and ill give one of you nobs a kites

There was just enough wind in Gero yesterday!
Looks like we might have seabreeze today and saturday and sunday and monday. Fingers crossed!

We had wind yesterday

Grand final today, wind doesnt look so good for kiting anyway.

Sunday will be on.
If your in Gero T up a ride for Sunday!
Organise Timothy from G-spot or N8

Let the man pimp! Giving a kite away as prize in a competition gives him that right (my opinion anyway) rather than just talking it up.

Here we have an Aussie bloke designing and selling kites locally for about $500 cheaper than other international brands. Instead of forum bashing, why not support one of our own whether you buy his brand or not. Takes a decent set of nads to go out on your own and start a business, let alone in the fickle kiting industry. It annoys me when I see the typical Aussie tall poppy syndrome, where we have to cut down anyone trying to or succeeds in anyway whatsoever.

I sincerely wish you all the best N8 and really hope your venture is a success.

Well 3 people tried and liked the kite today at the lack of winder[waksa down winder]. although we were only messing around on the beach being optimistic about the wind strength.
charl-liked it [charl de viliars]
vishy-didnt like the quick release or chicken loop but was impressed by the rest. [matt something]
bellz-i guess he liked it, couldnt find fault [michael bell]
I really hope there is wind tomorrow or Tuesday morning before i have to hand it back so i can give it a real test, some how jumping off a dune and looping doesnt quite do it justice.

I didn't get to fly the 11 today but I did have a good suss...

The kite is very well made: seems are proper; leading edge (LE) is well beefed up at the points of dramatic curve (ie. where the stress is), the canopy looks like good grade spinnaker cloth, there's a modicum (I would have used a tad more, but there is enough) of reinforcement to the canopy attachment seems, and the all important dacron to canopy joiner runs along the full length of the LE, buffers are low profile for less line snags, rib ends are snag-proofed too, and the battern pockets are solid. It's all good stuff.

The bar is promising: Naish-like lines (red, blue and white), nice soft ends (to save your skull), some of the best floats I've seen, a big metal slug through the centre of the bar so your chicken line wont chew out in 5 sessions, the chicken loop is small so you don't have to be an ape to use the depower range, and the QR is simple and straight forward (as it should be).

All in all, it's as well made as most other kites and doesn't get stingey where it counts.

I did see it fly (but not fly it myself) in what wind was available, and it flew well. If I was to draw a brand comparison, I would say F-One. Today it was flying in nothing more than 10-12 knots but I could still see how much this kite will thrill... it's fast and it turns on itself, how, the trailing edge ailerons similar to an aeroplane. This is the kind of kite that will be fast enough to repond to thought... that is, you think it and it goes there.

To be truley fair, in a review, I would have to give it a good sesh in a combined environ and actuate the QR etc, etc.

My only concern about taking it out for a demo is that I might actually like it, too much, much too much... and I already have a perfectly good quiver of 07 kites... I'm safe though, coz kitecrazzzy has his grubby hands on it and I'm not likely to be around long enough (work) to match kite, wind, and location.

Why is it that talking/thinking about new kites is both exciting and depressing?

Cool that's like my harness!

pretty sure its a line cutter!!

I think it's a duck-call... which is a tad odd, coz everyone knows it's rabbit season.

Cool pic.
Nice perspective.
Actually, it's also an interesting example of kite-marketing design.

You know when I view the shot......
I'm thinking there's something missing on the kite ?
Like maybe a logo ?
There's a lot of value to be had in displaying a clever logo.
Instant identification of a brand name without actually spelling out the brand name.
A word-picture...
no, a picture-word,
an icon,
whatever.

Of course, the NEW brand name is right there,
printed on the kite canopy in bold capital letters.
Twice in fact.

However,
the top NEW looks like NEW written in Russian......
and the bottom NEW looks like NEW written in Greek.
The English version is from the opposite point-of-view.
the NEW word is not 'right-reading',
cause it's printed on the outside and it's being read from the inside in this pic.
Fair enough.

But do you get my drift ??
Now,
if you had a kite brand name like say... 'OXO'
it wouldn't matter, hey ?
Right-reading or wrong-reading.....same, same.

But the logo ideally needs to be symmetrical about its centre...or close to it.
Otherwise you get the same problem.

For instance,
take that Flying Objects logo that's on the back of the harness in the same pic.
Simple, smart, sym-abt-its-centre.
Of course, its roots are of the Pole,
so when its on the clear monofilm poley sail it reads right, both ways.
It works, it reads right and the little birdy-wings kind of tell the story.

But back to the kite...
(Nice kite by the way)
Pornstar, do you have a NEW logo ?
I mean, do you have a logo...new or old ?
Cause I have a suggestion if you are interested.
I'm always here to help.
Hey, maybe this could swing into yet another kite competition ?
I just love kite competitions.
Anyway, this is my suggestion:

The logo could be of a large 'sparkle'.
You know, the sparkle icon graphic thing that you see reflecting from
the surface of a 'new', shiny, glossy, smick kite.
A giant gleam,
a big bling,
the super sparkle.

What do you reckon, dude ?
Too bathroom-cleanserish maybe ?
Too cheesey ?

Actually... I did overhear one of the fairer sex say, just before kick-starting her Harley, that she thought, just for a moment, the kite was called "MEN"... "sh!t", she said, "ya can't trust any of them!" Then she dissapeared behind a cloud of exhaust-smoke and Brute33.
