Thumbs up U2cooltoby

Toby,
Thanks for the invite to fly your new Eclipse kite! ( And, uh, thanks for coming down and getting me when I ended up down near the rocks that time too bro! ) I blame that on that sloppy, draggin ass 15 meter Yarga I had. I never end up down there on my fuel. In fact, last weekend I flew my fuel and was upwind of everyone within 30 minutes.

As far as buying an eclipse right now... I already have store credit of 500 bucks at Real Kiteboarding so I have to buy what they have... and the best recommendation by them is the assault and it will only cost me another $300 smackaroos. So I am going for it. However, I may replace my fuel someday. Maybe the eclipse can pursuade me? Another screamer I was checking out was the Viper Kite. Ever heard of it? Well, I hope the wind blows soon man! WILL CALL YA when it does BRO!

PEACE OUT!

No problem, when I see a bro in need and I am in a position to help I always will. I'd like to think that my bros have my back as well out there because anything can happen out there and its always good to know that we have such a great "family" of bros and sistas out on the water!!!

And all are welcome to try out the Eclipse Thruster. I have a 12M on the way as well in 2 weeks and a 16M when it becomes available in March. I will also probably be getting some demo kites of a Nano and a Chameleon in sometime later this year once the orders slow down at Eclipse and there is more inventory for extras too...

Deffinatly go with the 16m, I have the 16 and 12m and love them both. So far I have rarely had any use for the 12m (used once) since I have gotten so used to the 16m. Now with that said I have been riding for over 8 years so I have become addicted to riding as litt as possible (a rarity on this coast) plus they throw nice amplitude when they are powered. I use mine on SSTD bars but if you go with the 07 model Assaults the new bars are great. Great kites, especially if you like all around riding. Have fun
