litewavedave · #1 11-30-2009, 11:57 PM

Come out and see the new Delta'd up versions of Globe Kites for 2010. Also the ultra thin Spirit boards by Litewave that have torsionally engineered flex for a smoother more performance ride. Come see the new Hybrid Lace-up sandal and see why it is PATENTED. They're amazing. When you put your foot in, you won't want your old straps...sorry, it is true. Watch this video http://globespirit.com/globespirit/v...ce-up-bindings
We've got some sharp innovations for 2010.

We will have GK-Sonic 11, 14; Trix 9, 12; Spirit-132, 137, 144; Quad-Surf 5'8" and Wing

The tour starts this Friday, Dec 3rd at East Beach under the Skyway bridge. Alternative is North beach if the wind direction is better there.

Sounds great, lets just hope for wind

I made it to Tampa. Looks like not a lotta wind tomorrow, but I'll be at East Beach, or Skyway depending on wind direction. I have the "Wing Lite Wind" and a 14m so maybe we'll get to ride.

Impressive 2010 kites and boards, Dave! Thanks for the demo last night.

Your stuff continues to evolve and the materials and finsh are top-notch

Anybody who has not tried on the new Litewave bindings is in for a treat.

OK, yesterday, Monday was a day off, but today, we'll be at Juno beach in Jupiter. Hope to see you there.

Check out this letter rec'd today from a new GK/Litewave rider in Texas. It was unsolicited. Promise.

Dave,

I'm loving the new kites and board. I was amazed when I was able to
comfortably throw megaloops on the 12m. That is the first time I think I
have ever been able to megaloop a kite that big and still get the kite
back up for a soft landing. I still have to tune it a little more but so
far they rock. The board has killer pop off the water for wake tricks. I
was getting way more air than normal and was over rotating half my
tricks. I'm super stoked on the gear and can't wait to get back on the
water.

Cheers,

Beck

The Cocoa Beach Demo went great. We had a Good Breeze and good crowd. Thanks for coming Dave! Those bindings are awesome.
