No its not rellie, if you look closely there's no nail polish.

Piccys were taken mostly from SSS in cape hatteras and one kiteshop overseas has got some stock.

BTW some dude called Andre Phillip? won the SSS

I always thought it would be great to have the IDS line running through the plastic tubing. I think that bar looks so tidy. Love the donkey dick on the side of the harness loop, looks like it swivels around. The shape of the kite looks nice. No concave trailing edge and nice rounded tips should make the kite very grunty with low bar pressure. I would assume with six struts they would be very thin . It would be good to see some pics of the bridal. I hope there are less pulleys than on the 09 kites, does anybody know who this model is aimed at?

comparing the shape of the IDS to the Nomad.

the Nomad is taking a "C" Shape but is really a hybrid

Nomad should have a smaller wind range and less pull on the unhook by the looks of its design.

Any one flown it yet?

Actually Dre won best overall. There are lots of different winners for different sections.

Yup, I like the way they have modified the 2010 foot to make it more streamline which would no doubt increase its performance with no boarders. The new toes can also be bent up and down at higher angles to keep the board on for raileys.

This isn't just any foot, its the latest revolutionary 2010 foot. It puts all 2009 feet to shame.

That is one high aspect, high performance foot. I can tell from the trailing edge that this foot offers lighter bar pressure, and it has multiple settings. But I think the centre attachment point is prone to wear, as the pignail has already half worn out....

Heard you can get an acrylic mod that will fix the wear and tear problem.

Keep it down Malibu - we are all interested in this spankin new high tech foot.

I am assuming it turns faster and gets a better shoe range too? Not sure about the middle strut projecting past the big fat one though.

I recently had a foot repair and think it was a pretty professional job. Went the no-stitches option and it was just under 7 weeks until it was fully waterproof again.



The webbing between the second and third strut seems to work ok.

I'd put in a warranty claim. If I bought a 2010 foot and this happened so quickly it has to be a warranty issue with the skin between the toes. A mate of mine has Slingshot toes and they are bomb proof. He walks around barefoot, on hot coals, and once save an entire village of aboriginals from army ants using only he 3 smallest toes.

I've heard the Cabrinha feet come out the same factory but I don't if I quite like them, they just seem lower quality than last years toes and i heard from someone, who knows a guy, who once kited with robbie naish, that the Cabrinha toes are really just cheap ripoffs of the Best toes.

Out of interest sake, doesn't anyone know if i can retrofit these toes on my feet if I don't want to buy a whole new foot?

Language Relli, sheesh.

I think you misunderstood anyway, he wants to keep his current feet and only refit the toes, not the whole foot.

GreenPat,
Don't worry Cabrinha last year upgraded their 2009 IDS Bar, so I would say they will do the same with the new 2010 Nomad Toes. The Webbing on the depower / power straps need replacement frequently. I think Cabrinha will upgrade your webbing problem. I will send an email tonight to let them know, before their mass release.
Goodluck
