Flexifoil have released a new kite called the "Blurr." The kite is designed for speed and stability. It is not a bridge between Flexifoil's Rage and Blade kites, it is aimed to go fast. Flexifoil are promoting the kite as a buggy engine, with the new Flexifoil Blurr promo video showing it being used by Team Flexifoil Riders purely in the buggies. Typically Flexifoil have restrained from entering the race kite market, or promoting their products as "Fast" kites.
The Blurr is a kite with one mission – speed! It’s designed specifically for
buggying and getting you from point A to point B and back again - fast.

Seven months later and the HQ team appeared at Atmosphere 08 flying the new HQ Neo prototypes and news that Tom Bourdeau is now working and designing for HQ Kites.
Earlier this year Ocean Rodeo released a new "vented" kite which they called the Ocean Rodeo Rise Venturi. The Rise Venturi has built in vents at the rear of the canopy.

This years SLE bar offers depower now located below the bar on the Chicken Loop, with a sliding stopper setup and a jerk-off safety release.
