Finally saw the vid, nice kite. Another Variation of the Vegas, RPM,Park style of kites. Does it come canopy only like best kites do?
Yes, Like all Best kites, bar and kites are sold separately which gives you the option to run 1 bar with 2 kites etc.
As for comparing the GP to the RPM and Park, I disagree, and this is no Vegas either.
The design of the leading edge is really where the performance differences lie. Best call it the Reflex LE(patent pending) which is a reversed curvature of the LE. This feature alone sets it apart from any other C kites in the industry because it introduces shock absorption to the canopy. Pretty much when you unhook and load the Reflex LE absorbs this load, and when you release from the water it generates kick ass pop but then releases the weight on the bar so that you have a mid air floating bar to pass.
Similar to flex in a board, this concept now exists in the kite. Super cool.
This is a 5 line C kite, not an SLE or Open C etc.
