    Well it's been a while since I did purchased a new (non power) kite, but here's my purple B series Rev.
    I even managed to get it signed by Ben when he was at the Adelaide kite fester. :good:

    I was lucky enough to find this Moonie Exile UL in brand new condition. What an addition to the kite bag... Highly recomended if your wind is frequently under 5mph.

    Nice Moonie Rob!

    I'm really impressed with my Exile UL - in my view it is a SUL though rather than UL..I tend to fly it in the 1-4 mph range, above that it tends to pick up a fair bit of speed and be a bit more difficult to trick. At this point I change kites.

    I've never flown an Exile standard, but from experience with the UL I am guessing that above say 8-9 mph the standard would pick up a fair bit of speed .

    Great mix of old and new school tricking though!

    cheers

    Hi Steve...

    Thanks... Ken makes one heck of a kite ! The standard isn't much fun in winds over 10-12mph. It has the same surprising forward drive that the UL does. I have yet to figure out how to tame it down, but just like the Sea Devil, there's no need to mess with the bridle, it flies the best the way it comes.
    I have the Mantis V2 for winds over 10mph, but for a vented kite, it isn't much fun once the winds go above 15mph. Maybe the Mamba vent has a higher usable range, it seems to have larger vents. The Mantis is most fun to fly with all the vent covers on, it flies like a standard. The Exile standard flies in the same range as the Zephyr.
    I wouldn't say that you need an Exile standard, the UL is comfortable up a little higher than 5mph, the standard doesn't take you much higher.

    She does know; she doesn't mind terribly, since she's advancing the public's awareness of sport kiting :-D

    Cool, Steve, that matches my SD std. You'll have to let me know what you think of the light compared to the std.
    I don't know if I should get more Sea Devils, or just skip to the Fearless.

    In the meantime, I picked up this crazy looking kite last week. It's one of a kind, and I don't know what to expect...
