you cant be serious?

ever see billy ride?

guys goes huge on any and all equipment i've seen him ride over the past 2 and 1/2 years. and to be honest, its not that he goes huge.. its more along the lines of "massive" or "epic".

a kite is a kite is a kite. riders make all the difference.

Of course i'm not serious, have you ever heard of a "reverse dynamic air profile" on a kite?

Only kidding, and I have watched Billy ride a couple times, he really is a "Billy Bad A$$".

hehe

trust me.

you hear some of the questions that new riders have you'd realize they read way too many kiteboard advertisements promising that such and such kite does this or that. Reverse dynamic air profile seems like something they would try to sell.

Actually. I got to ride the Ion2 (two of Bill's).
They jump much higher than last year's Flexi. The new board doesn't hurt, either.
You guys should try one, Billy lets people demo. Flexi doesn't toot their ads nearly as much as others.

i talked to billy for a while at the undertow .. flexi does not push their products to the USA as much as they do in other countries.. Flexi is huge in many areas of the world.. but pretty small in the US comparatively.

Billy is flexi's main man in the states and thats why they dont pay for him to go outside of this country to compete.. they have Aaron for that purpose.

Billy is always letting anyone demo his equipment. earlier this season at the pre-race party he gave me his kite and board and then he took off for a couple hours.. told me to have fun.

and i did.

Let's quit trying to confuse the newbies with all this reverse aerodynamic profile stuff...His bladders are obviously filled with helium (to maximize hangtime), and the bar is equipped with new Flexi 25 meter bungee lines, which give additional lift while boosting. Other than that, its just another routine flight at Parker Airlines.

P.S. I am selling the helium charge kits for 69.95 and line sets for only 99.95. PLACE YOUR ORDER SOON TO AVOID THE RUSH!!!!!

Congrats on your first (of many) covers BP.
