My Comments:

mates calls up for a kite..unfortunately im working late..so they head off...cut a long story short..used his kite for a syndrom.. awesome ..at first had no depower backstalling ...no wonder he gets overpowered in only 30 knots ....pussy....anyhow felt like it was really old school ... tuned it and had another go.... sweet as kite..

so try one then you will have some comparison to the fancy named...looking ...hyperbole kites this year.

disclaimer... not a north rider...but i think i should bloody well be..

Ive still got my 12m 06 vegas as a back up kite and cant get rid of it it is so good. This season thinking of switching back onto it for my main kite. Love your work.

Yep - 2nd that - my Vegas 06's about to hit their 4th season on the water.

Only area where they ould improve is total power shutoff in waves, but now have 08 bar that I can setup with ridiculous depower loop length, so probably they will have that under control soon too.

Thinking of getting my main panels replaced as they are starting to get see through, but apart from that, kites are going great
