epic.

all i can say.

what a day..

got to demo the Rise and the HP and ride for over 2 hours litt outta my skull on my 12 and 9.

hp is a great kite.. imagine a high aspect waroo basically.. i got about 30 minutes on it and for about 20 minutes it was blowing pretty nice.. maybe 18 or so.. Jayson was on his 12m atom and going off.. i was hitting some nice jumps and kite is smoooooth. it really has serious power thru the window.. i would land my jumps and as i was bringing the kite back up it would pull me off my edge it had so much grunt ..

i only got to ride the rise in light wind.. but i can say this.. i was staying with the wind on a 12 when another guy that was prob about 20lbs lighter was just going upwind on a 17m waroo.

its got the power and is quick.. it would be a great kite for anyone that is used to a waroo.. very similar feeling on the bar but faster thru the window..
ive heard negative reviews of their last kites (the one) but the Rise is something to take a look at.
