As far as I know the 08 Vapours are still being tested by airush in Perth.... You see 'em out at scabs every now and then....

Hi Guys,

As I understand it, the Vapours will be available in April. Don't know much more than that apart from everyone who has ridden one loves them.

The guys from Airborne can probably give you a better ETA. Looks like being the most anticipated kite in Airush History.

Good winds,

Late May or Early June you might be lucky to get reliable SE winds. They normally start to ease off after Easter and gradually turn SW through Winter. As Mike said though, if you're heading up this way and don't mind coming a little further North, Elliott Heads is the pick

haha don't ask me pretty much all kites are labelled a year later than they are released. They have been developed since the start of the summer and before. I got nothing to do with airush, just know the guys who churn out the protos....

yeah wasn't having a go at you monkey. it's getting worse, i know they usually release them starting around august-october each year for the following year but april? thats ridiculous! basically the year means nothing now, coz if it's the kites i'm thinking of i first saw them down at scabs many months ago (in 06)so its really more an 07 kite (maybe even 06 ) hahaha.
but thats just my opinion.
