EH Ripper test:
By far the best thing about today has been the kite flying like a bow on a short power line without pullys, the fun feeling you get lying flat out and able to head dip backwards is certainly a major step forwards to getting more C kite feeling into what is a great design leap ,the bow/sle kite,
The boosting is very similar to the naish raven, silly high, but with the float of a Warroo,
Bar pressure is light so you can blast around for miles, very important if like me you just love to drag race windsurfers, thanks to the two windsurfers today who stayed out at sea with me to race around and shout obscenity’s as I boosted into outer space,
On the minus side, the kite is not quite as easy to relaunch as a Warroo, mind you what kite is? It is easy but not as quick, I don’t think this kite is for heavy newbie’s, as the power has to be generated at low wind speeds or lulls in the wind, lightweight newbie’s would love this kite as they would quickly get up to speed and then park the kite, only having to move the bar a little without bending forward in the gusts is a far better feeling and your less likely to get pulled forward into a death run situation,
