Check the link below, but be advised you need to click to about the ninth photo to see Vari kiting it, and check out photo 12 to see how to not test a kite's construction, and photo 13 is just plain cool.. tow with kite and just let go. In addition to the several kitesurf photos, Garrett, Minoa, etc., were being towed into some absolute bombs so enjoy that too...

Oh look he's on a LINK!!

with all the stories floating around about links I'm pretty sure that no rider would pull into that on a kite that 'didn't fly proper like'!!

I think you may be missing the point there Rowdy. Lou may have been better on a 2 line kite than most people, but risking it by going out into pit like that with a kite that jellyfished, stalled and flew like a pig? I wouldnt (but then Im alame ass piss-pants who couldnt pull into a 2 footer...)

pump it to 10psi and its fine

or better yet get the codered bridle update pump it to 8psi and never have any worries again.

well thats the word at windforce.

My point exactly, the kite design is sweet, sweet enough to trust in that wave.
