New globe rider kites, first impressions

Well finally had the new Gk stock in.

To say its immpressive is a under statement!! The build quality is awesome and revolutionary, I havnt even seen some of the materials before. The brideling is super simple, especially the trix, which has literally one simple line with a pulley on it, the KPO). The bar has been changed from last years and is now pretty much as a simple C kite bar was, with spining chicken loop as well. This also comes with a handle pass leash. The nice bonus this year is that it comes ready to fly and with a really well put together colour guide and brochure, featuring all the kite set up, etc and all theyr new products, including travel bags, boards, harnesses, basically any thing you'd ever need to go kiting, except for the blonde hotty in a G string, sat making you a warm cuppa tea ready for when you come in!!

All I need to do now is get out and use them, but we aint got no wind!! I realise this might come over as a biast opinion as I sell them, but if your curious come and have a look or take a test flight.

The new bar should go straight on the old one, but well have to try. I still really like the old bar, but I just set mine at 1 setting for all conditions. C u nxt week, X fingers for wind!!!!!!!
