dave you didnt watch the vid did ya???
how can you call that old school?? back mobe 7's, KGB, dubble front mobe, 313, blind judge3, 720 sbend to blind with an air pass, 20 foot plus high dubble kiteloops and smashing head high faces **** if you think that is old school i wanna see you kite dude cos you must rip!!!!!

i rekkon it is a sick vid and after useing the Ion2 up at kitestock i think its a sick kite too.
before i flew the Ion 2 i was a bit confused by the 4-5 line thing but after flying it in both 4 and 5 line mode up at kitestock i can see the light

i dont think it will be a kite for everyone but if you cant decide if you want to go for a bow or a c or if you like to mix it up alot with a bit of flat water and a bit of waves but dont want to comprimise with your gear then i think you will love the Ion2.
