They are sick dude was looking at them as you uploaded them, nice work. I'm sure there are many ground photos to come as well, there were stacks of cameras on the beach. Nice work.

Interested in anyone who saw him yesterday...... What kite was he flying?
I see him promoting Atoms, ions and the rest of the flexifoil range but seems to be on a kite that looks more like an 05 or 06?
Hope its on again today

It's a brand new kite, apparently first time it's been ridden in the world.. It's the Aaron Pro model and apparently is the exact same kite he won the 07 tour on.... Or so they said.

Hey Dave...

The kite in question will be the Aaron Hadlow signature freestyle kite. Due for release in Feb next year and will replace the Fusion.

"It's a brand new kite, apparently first time it's been ridden in the world.. It's the Aaron Pro model and apparently is the exact same kite he won the 07 tour on"....SPACEY...

is the exact same kite he won the 07 tour on...It's a brand new kite, apparently first time it's been ridden in the world....there it is backwards....I'm confused

Do you mean Flexifoil just gave him a new kite straight out of the bag???hmmmm To get that hadlow feeling, go to a kitestore, part with $1500-2000, set it up and wow, It's a brand new kite, apparently first time it's been ridden in the world....

New graphics lol, I dunno. I think maybe his kite he was riding last year was a proto? I'm not sure.

its a highish (by todays standards) aspect wide wingtip c kite. front line bridle off each line acts as a fifth to prevent jellyfishing when turned hard and give a little more depower.

at least when buying a fuel you are only a semi wannabe lenten (dont talk about the lunacy!). With the aaron hadlow pro model your all the way there!

did any of you notice how similar aaron's new kite is to the fuels??? With the exception of the bridal on the front, the profile, aspect ratio struts and strut placement looked very similar to 07/08 Fuels.....not that it matters, one kite is not better than another, i just find it interesting.

Sanamarco.......
Love your work. Its not a fuel cause it has flexifoil written on it and it borrowed from North the "skate inspired graphics" that say Hadlow. It has also borrowed a liquid force "bridled C" bar.......
I just hope It doesnt come with a fuel inspired "safety" leash.....
Does his pro-model come with 1 pump???

I think Aaron would ride so much more powered if he used a lunacy instead of that board with the bloody St. george flag on it, everyone knows poms are no good at sport.....Just like Johnny Wilkinson, flawless technique but uninspiring...

Signature Models. Jason Furness from Flexifoil was lamenting that the Hadlow pro models available to the public and would be the exact kites that Hadlow has been riding. Who gives a toss if you are a budding wannabe, If you want to fly a kite designed and ridden by the 4x champ then go do it! At least you know you are riding a machine.

Len10 has released a slingshot signature board and it is only a matter of time before the Len10 kite, harness, bong hits the market. Other manufacturers will follow suit no doubt.

The proof is in the pudding i for one look forward to giving it a crack.
