Those who know wok, realise quickly he is a straight shooter and I have rarely heard him bag another kite. I know on the surface it looks suss, but I can tell you he honestly did not gel with the dice and not did one of his instructors who I had a long chat with that beer o'clock arvo. ....and he's a Vegas rider!!! Well he was now he's got himself some mists on the way!
Those who know wok also know he will out kite 99 percent of riders especially in the waves. Spent many a storm day watching from the car park at our local watching him absolutely smash head high and above waves in 30 plus knots. As good as you see on any of those gaybo promo vids. Then again he used to smash it in 2001 on non depowerable monster kites in a TT as well.
My excuse is he is a goofy footer, but alas I'm like the lead guitarist who sits there and says 'I could that'. But I can't.
He was sincerely pissed off and expected better and it is really out of character for him to say something like he did. He's a top fella with no agenda just hated the kite....if anything his message is...
Demo demo and demo some more, don't buy into hype.
For the record my experience was the same as plummets but that doesn't mean it is fact. The facts are wok fkn kills it on the new reo seen it on the water. Find your kite, invest time into getting the right one.
