Naish have completely redeveloped and reengineered the Helix for 2009. The new Naish Helix is no longer a 7 strut design kite, rather they have gone to 5 struts and increased the turn speed of the kite. The new kite is more of a sigma shape then previous and compared to the Cult 2009. The new Naish Helix 2009 is also lower aspect this year giving the kite better glide and hang time. The kite also comes with the new 2009 Naish Bar and is supplied on 4 lines, however the kite itself is 5 line ready for riders that prefer the 5th line. Check out the video as it has some great footage of the new Naish Helix 2009!

Ruben Lenten has released a video flying the new 2009 Fuel at The Gorge. In typical LEN10 style it features huge airs, massive kite loops and powered wake style tricks. The new Slingshot Fuel 2009 has a changed profile which gives the kite more constant power, a greater low end then previous models and now the kite recovers better from looping. Originally Ruben Lenten was presented with different profile Fuels from Slingshot, he spent time riding them in the Gorge and out of the various profiles and designs the Fuel 2009 is the one he choose. Check out the video!

Finally photos and news of the 2009 Eclipse Thruster. As of late Eclipse have spent a lot of time marketing the new Nano and Kima kites for 2009 whilst questions on the Thruster were put in the queue. Last year Eclipse had success with the 2008 Thruster, in 2009 the changes seem subtle reflecting a more refined Thruster this year. To accompany the new Eclipse Thruster is the Morph bar which now features below the bar depower and colour coding Green and Red bar ends. This year Eclipse is planning a great brand presence in Australia which should lead to the availability of more demos!
It's warming up ... so it's time for those of us (namely me) that did not HTFU through winter to face the fact that there are no oooooooooooooooooo longer any excuses not to get wet.
Kitesurf time !!!!
It is my goal this Summer to turn as many of you SEQ "Landcrabbers" into Amphibians.
Now in this golden town of ours we have 3 main courses to select from,
Brighton/Sandgate
Wellington point
Redcliffe peninsula
To start ..... If you wanna have a good laugh .... eat a little mud ... and get up close with a jelly fish or 2 then Brighton is the place for you.
Brighton has it all .... running water ... BBQs .... Walking distance to Shops ..... and there are hardly any pedophiles at Brighton compared to Sandgate .... we might even find someone out in the water Crankin !!!
