I finally took it out yesterday and I was amazed on how simple a bow kite will just float you. Once your airborne and ready to come down you slowly raise the bar up and you will descend smoothly. I was able to ride from 12 - 20 mph with one kite. That to me is a big savings in the pocket and I am looking at having just a 2 kite quiver.

I flew a Sonic up in Ft. Pierce for a while thanks to GK. It liked the way it handled. I have tried about five flat kites so far for varying periods of time. Many of those thanks to Daryl and Pat at Ocean Extreme Sports at the Matanzas Kite Blast! Kudos to the guys at Cabrinha for the rest of the riding time. I think the industry is on to something. Looking forward to new developments.
I am still exploring the jumping characteristics. I understand that you can even cycle some of the flat kites to extend hover time. Interesting stuff!
Have fun!
