Stoked, my new kite finally came in. Its a 12m, new Naish design. So I went down to the beach and rigged it all up and it seems to have 6 lines. Ultra fast through the window, with great depower and bar pressure.

When i get some more time on it, i will post a review in the Gear section.

Until then, heres a pic.

Hope you all like.

i was over in china, so i decided to drive to the kite factory. some of the upcoming kites look amazing. I snuck my camera down to there R&D man made beach and heres what i found.

Slingshot are doing a fast high wind kite called the octo



And Cabrinha are making a facinating sphere shaped kite called the pussball



I hope everyone likes my finds. Anyway i certainly look forward to next years kites.
