Hey

Ive had a go on the 11m, lovely kite
Its so smooth and it doesn't feel like anything is there.
I also found it is a great kite for boosting high and has good pop
Huge windrange and the kite looks nice

I should be getting mine in a couple of weeks so if you want a test fly just come down to mullaloo.

hi

Rodolphe is in Perth right now he will be there for at least another 5 weeks training.

woodies / with dan?

Just had my first ride on this years Tribal 13m. 11km downwinder from Kawana to Caloundra. In a word....AWESOME!
I usually ride LF Havoc 12m and have been really impressed with it.

What I liked (16-20kn wind) Fast turning, smooth power, easy to control at the edge of the window, down loops are easy and I didn't get hauled off my edge when the kite went through the power. Dumped it in the water a couple of times and it comes up easy. (not as easy as the Havoc) hang time was awesome and I mis-timed my landings because of this. Depower was great. Last thing you need on a wave is the kite hauling your ass off of it!!

What I didn't like. Bar pressure was more than I'm used to (the Havoc has very little)

That's about it.

Note: I do sell F-One kites but these comments are honest.

I have heard Rodolphe will be doing some lessons for Kite Boarding Perth whilst Rob Gannon is away on holidays, so he might be kiting at Mullaloo in his free time.
