Default The Monkey's are comin!!!

So we have been having alot of inquiries about the new Monkey bow kite by Griffin. We have been doing some extensive testing of these kites and they are the real deal. At first we set them up out of the bag as bows with pulleys. Kite had alot of bar pressure. Alot!!! I was bummed. Then after the Cabrina/Omega demo with Damien the thought of making the bar pulleyless came to mind. After changing the kite to no pulleys it has now become an excellent kite to ride. A light feel, moves fast, very stable, and jumps like Van Halen. The pricing of these kites has no match on the market. Like a Waroo, and other kites similar to this design, they struggle to relaunch in very light winds, but the tradeoff is high performance when the winds pickup.

We are looking to demo these kites on Sunday if the forcast holds. A time and place will be determined when the forecast solidifies. Definately trying to arrange the demo on a weekend so more folks can get an opportunity to experience these kites. With all of the grumbling of high priced equipment these days, we may have found an answer to your prayers.

I will keep you posted.

ps. If the Eclipse demo doesn't happen, which would suck, I will bring some 12's and 15's with me on Thurs. It's always fun to try something new.
