flexifoil fusion
After all this talk of the excellent bow style kites i received a 12m flexifoil fusion today, blew it up and it looked massive and
relatively flat!!
build quality looks good with the simplist bar/safety system ive seen yet
taking it out to egypt friday so should have a good test on it
weather.co.uk is showing 28degrees and 9/10mph wind all week but that doesn't take account of the thermal effect so it should be 20mph
all week ..fingers crossed any way
i will (rub it in) sorry i mean post from egpyt and let you all know how the kite performs

Another bow kite eh? might get a go on this one...
Well I did an idle count last nite, so far we have (or will soon have)..
Cabrinha Crossbow
GK Sonic
Takoon Nova
Slingshot Turbo Diesel
Naich Crossfire
Airush Halo
Best Waroo (who the hell dreams up their names)
Sof-X UFO
and now Flexifoil Fusion
Best and Sof-X reckon they will be turning them out at £500 for the 12m - plus the dreaded import duty of course, so if anyone is
off to the states in the new year - take a large suitcase!

Col,
I just got back from El Gouna. Great holiday had by me and the misses.
Sailed 6 days out of 7 but mainly on big kites, 16m and some 12m. Temperature was a steady 26 degrees, but if you want to sail to
sunset take a shorty. The sunsets at about 4:30-5ish and when that starts dropping so does the temp.
A pair of shoes might be adviseable for the shallower lagoons as the coral is bloody sharp and so are some of the shells.
Buy a bottle of spirits at duty free as they cost a fortune in the bars and hotels. Also stay away from the Egyptian wine, it's crap,
but you'd probably expect that.
Had a great time, enjoy it mate.
