General Kiting

mate would be good if you could all make the trip WORK harder on that deadline mate we love to see ya up here

OK here is my initial take on things.

I don't think this kite is aimed at targeting the FS Speed market. At this point in time nothing comes close to the large Speeds in light wind and upwind performance. I foresee FS holding this niche for some time yet. For those yet to try a Speed because of those who knock them and claim that a large pump up kite is just as good you don't know what your missing....

I think the Matrix is aimed at those who want more instant power and pop in their kite whilst not sacrificing turning speed and lift.
Those who have flown the Montana range of open cell foils will know it produces it's power much faster than other kites available and makes much more power than an equivalent sized NEO. The Matrix I think is aimed at capturing these qualities in a closed cell kite.

Thats stretching it a tad

Six weeks, and five days to go.



But who's counting..

I think I might go see and optometrist, cause I'm starting to see double.

The topic on the Matrix is doubling up on the kitesufing site and the general kiting site.

If it comes up on the snowkite and the kiteskate site I might go see a doctor...

@ Jas ... $52.. and a set of steak knives

Well it certainly looks like it has lift and float

I think HQ have got themselves a winner with this kite.

Spartan

Looks super floaty and super quick

Ye, I had 3-4hrs to kill after dropping the family off to dreamworld, so I headed up to Brizkites to personaly hand over my $101 to bribe Jason into sending the kite down south before any where else. But Wolfie got to Jason first.

It was great to see Ya wolfie. Im staying down Gold Coast way if your serious about comming down that way for a give me a personal message.
