I love my Jimmy Lewis Flightdeck. I'm 6'3" and 215lbs and can ride it with a 16M SB2 in 12mph. Of course it doesn't have as cool of a name as WindRyder's Superphatty!! :cool:

I own the ozone edge 13m. It is built to last. Love the saftey system. Took me a while to figure out also. Once I figured out that I was being pulled at warp speed from the harness even though I had no pressure on the bar I started to fly it with a very light touch and it really started to shine. Super fun kite. Very fast, mega high jumper, like kiting with power steering. Not a beginer kite. Mine is blue and white, Scott if you see me out on it introduce your self and take it for a pass down the speed strip. Maybe we could swap for a short session, I would like to try the RYL just to see what it's all about.

Cool. If it's under 16-18 knots, I will be on a red (faded to dark pink) RRD Hyper Type. :D
The Hyper is great in terms of speed and not so hot in terms of stability.
It use to be a trade off and the two didn't necessarily go hand in hand.
The Royal and others do a good job of combining the two, I think.

You will have a hard time finding a kite built with Ozone's level of dedication to detail and quality, imo.
They don't just ship 'em off and pray, they are in their own factory. Definitely put together bomber. :)

you bet. Rode the edge 13 from 11:30 to 4:45 today 8 to 18 knots just effortless kiting. Let a good friend try it today in 9 to 11 knots when he came in all I could see was teeth. :D We were holding a wind meter on the beach while each other tried it out. Very different feel.

Cool. Does that kite jump pretty well?
