Ahhhh.. and the C- vs- Bow debate continues.
Here's my take (as if anyone cares). The new bow kites are continuing to get better and better. Although they are somewhat safer the problem I see is guys riding 12 meter bows in 25 knots who could not hold that much kite normally. This is all good until something goes wrong. I think bows are giving a false sense of security to the new riders who have never had the crap scared out of them during a kitemare.
But, bows are GREAT for cruisng and for long runs where the wind can change dramatically.
Personally.. you will have to pry my Slingshot Fuels from my cold dead hands before I will give up that low end, kick you in the ass, kiteloop grunt!
PS.. Neil says the new 2007 Fuels have the range of the bows and the feel of the C's.
Happy Holidays Everyone!!!
