Default Monkey Day

Alright guys and gals. With the absence of Dimitri tomorrow, I have cleared my schedule to demo the Monkey Bow kite all day at East Beach. I will have two 12M and one 15M on hand. I have an 18M, but hopefully the winds won't call for it. Matt Sexton from Eckerd College Kite Club will be there to assist me as well as the additional demo on Sunday at Skyway North.

Some things to check out about this kite. It is not a one pump, however, the way the valves are designed they don't have stopper balls. So no flicking or shaking required. 100% pressure everytime. The quick release is also designed so that it can't accidently be released on the chicken loop and the leash. There is no center strut. All struts are evenly placed off of the center of the kite. There is also an adjustable stopper on the chicken loop throw. Finally, I will have all kites set up as a 1:1 ratio, just let me know if you would like to ride with a 2:1 ratio, although I don't recommend it. Oh yeah, the bag is huge!!! Something I have always been frustrated with other kite brands.

We only have a few of these kites in stock as they are sold out on most sizes.

Side note, last Sunday considered by many epic, I was teaching all day. Only got to ride for about 30 minutes. So I am really looking forward to spending the day riding the 12M. Bring some bananas and be ready for a fun day.

Be safe tomorrow and practice what you preach.

Peace,
Steve-O
