I won't stoop to your level, if your so precious about these forums then you would play by the rules.

No personal attacks, calling people d!ckheads is hardly constructive. Slave is this isn't the first time fences has done this to you and about bows as well. Maybe it's because we discovered what the real reason for the bow's hole and it's neoprene flaps. SPRUNG!

The HOLE is a real mystery to me, mate.

Maybe the HOLE is a fashion thing ?

Like designer patches and designer holes in fashion jeans.

Back on topic.......any chance???

The hole doesnt affect performance, doesnt disrupt aerodynamics, and if you look closely is reinforced around the edges.
it is there for access to a one way valve (pump up only) that you can utilise, when the kite is leading edge down, simple as that.

who are you directing that to laurie?
Slave and I didnt react badly

I have no doubt that hole does not effect the kites performance one bit. Still makes no sense you can still pump it up the conventional way so really there is no need to design a hle in the canopy.

I would rather pump my kite up the old way than thread my pump through a hole in my kite every time (wonder how that will stand up to wear and tear). Once it's in the air who gives a cr!p how it's pumped up, u just want to minimise holes.

You would rather not have one but I would. My kites don't but it would be nice if they did.


See different people want different things. If your not going to use it you don't have to.

How do you think the valve stems come out of the struts? Through a hole. WOW.

I thought I was being quite constructive. Explaining what the hole was for, and linking to a very helpful picture.

However your post wasn't.

AMAZING brand new technology, probably the most major leap forward in kite design ever and y'all are concerned about the hole
Bizarre.

Dont you have any comment on how it performs, first hand experience on what the ride is like etc etc etc

oh sorry you've never used one and have absolutly no fkn idea ..........

Try and keep it constructive, entertaining, even enjoyable, or slug back into your own holes and take the slime with you.

Howdy forum neighbour.

Conceded.....that's funny.
I think you meant 'conceited'.

I reckon you're arrogantly ignorant of how to abuse me correctly.

You need to go back to hate-school, man.

the freaking hole is only to top the kite up on the beach ,on its face after lunch, if (if) its gone down a bit without turning it over,you can still best pump it up properly from the main valve.
i use a rhino 6 and i know this.
cretins2pages of chat just wasted, why?

I'll tell you what's wrong with bows..........they are a success.

No shop has sold more kites before the season has even begun than those who had the Cab. X-Bow. So, regardless whether they are good or not, Cab. Bow distributors are laughing all the way to the bank.

All they have to do now is cross their fingers for 3 months until the warranty period runs out and then they will be laughing.

maybe if you had the Grenade Launcher attached.

sour grapes, pfft. I think the crossbow is awesome, there are a few teething problems though.
