what are the differences going to be, maybe bigger hole for chicken loop rope to run through(had my REV for 4 months, almost need new chickenrope) or different settings to slow the kite down (to fast for freestyle/wakestyle), when i go for a trick and slightly pull on my backhand the kite goes high (makes me look gay)and i float like a 100 meters downwind then get fu%kkd up. still the best kite tho.

OK Ok I promise to get a review and some photo's up later this arvo.
The problem has been I had all these boxes of kites and unfortunetly I had to get them out to shops so they could demo them..
So as of yesterday kite went to retails in most states, so yes Aden you'll have them in qld by the weekend ;-)
Now that I've got the esay work done and with the forecast of wind today I am hoping to get on the water and do the hard work. Test out and report on the new REV 2 :-)
PLus get you guys some photo's..

Sorry guys the wind doesn't like me having new kites to test,
I mean we've had 20 knots forecast last three days and it hasn't reached 14knots.
Yes Choicey your kites are long gone, so you'll see them first thing next week..
I know you'll have em straight on the water..
Aden I'll pump the kite in shop now and get some photo's so you can check it out :-)

Fark Yeh!!

The Graphics do look awesome. I cant believe that shocker green and black thing made it on the net.

That new pump will be a bonus.

Bloody he!!, I wanted to keep my 08 revs for another season too Looks like I better start saving.

Hey Dave, from what you've heard so far, has the bottom end been improved as much as the Slingy website says? It reckons the 7m will have the wind range of last years 9m?

Looks like a Geo Tech style canopy now that there is that strip of material running just behind the Leading edge.The canopy seems to be nice and tight and not all loose.

Im pretty sure that this was not the intention of the extra material.But it dose seem to have that "Geo Tech" effect at the same time as being there primerally for strength.
