Default Crossbow!,oh! Crossbow!,how, do i love thee

The crossbow hands down is the best kite I’ve ever flown,
Thanks AJ!!!!! I rode for about 2 to 3 hrs today and it was,
Sweeeeet!!!!! (16m,140Cab-labrat,12-15knots)
First look, it’s very beautiful, setting up is the
Same as any other kite so you don’t have
to learn how to set up.The kite doesn’t do anything unless
you want it to, it’s Smooth and quick, the Airs and Hang time, is crazy for
Such a big kite, you jump so high and stay in the
air so long till it kinda fools you, you’re much higher
than you think you are. Landing your jumps is even easier
I was doing whole body twists in the air and wasn’t
even worrying bout bringing the kite over to land, it gives
you more than enough time to land properly, so when you’re
doin those massive airs you can pause upside down and enjoy the view,take a pic or two,have a drink, answer your phone or just look at the tiny people way down there on the ground and smile.
. Although it was just 12-15knots it might as well be
20knots cause It felt the same. Water relaunch? sorry,but i don’t have
that problem of crashing my kite, so I never did it.
I have one thing though to say bout the depower, that’s
the same thing I’ve done years ago to my Bar, all you do is
make the center line
(line from chicken loop to sheeting sys) longer ,when I
did it I was crazy, Cabrinha does it ,it’s innovative ; -), but this is
Even longer than my center lines, if you let the bar go you better have
long arms cause it’s going to get away from ya. I’m sure
my arms are 2-3 inches longer;- ).I didn’t even bother
to take my kite out of my car :shock: and that was my first love. I’m in love
again and her name is Crossbow……Now i just need to sell a kidney to buy one
