Whatta think I have been up to and so quiet for lately?

It's gonna kick the crap outta other kites, that's what I think.

Seriously though. It seems reasonable to copy nature (wings) and hope it works. Lots of engineering has been inspired by nature's shapes. Not too many things in the sky that look like a kite (alive).
But, how are you going to rest it on shore? Wind is gonna blow it away (won't it?).

I know Naish is really rolling the dice on this one, that's all I know.
If Ozone actually releases one, I would be very tempted (even though it'll just blow down the beach into a tree the first day!)

I agree, but it will be fun to see another new shape.

Yeah, I think it looks great. I am curious to see how it does when not using it or how you would self land it. You should see my Instinct (with home made mod) self land. I can land it on a dime, even in 30
