Here is what SBC Kiteboarding had to say about the Blade Trigger:

Trigger brings performance you can grow with in every discipline. The kite sits in a balanced forward position, and the handling is simple and direct with light-touch steering. Easy park-and-go power delivery with a short bar throw, the Trigger’s progressive de-power lets you handle the gusts with ease. The wide and blunted wing tips and wide, centred canopy give the kite good power generation through the turns, which allowed testers to park-and-fly to concentrate on new moves. The Trigger’s friendly boosting capability with trim-induced but forgiving unhooked pull permitted skill development, from the first jump into transitions right into dialing your first Raleys and S-bends. Water relaunch was superb, as these lightweight, three-strut hybrids led the way in the instant relaunch category. Whether you’re just breaking free from mowing-the-lawn mode or ready to carve your first wave face, the Trigger can build the confidence to push you to the next level.

LOCATION:
Manzonita is located past Cannon Beach, Oregon on HWY 101 south. Take the Main exit for Manzonita, can be either Manzonita Ave. or Laneda Ave. You will be traveling West toward the ocean. Both these streets will take you to the ocean and run into Ocean Road. Laneda Ave. turns into Ocean Rd. Look for the kites on the beach in that 2 block radius and come say hello.
Manzonita is one of the most beginner friendly and by far most popular places to Kitesurf in all of Oregon!! Steady, reliable and predictable winds, tons of open sandy beach. It is the 2nd windiest place in Oregon with winds of 15+ nearly everyday all summer.

The clinic is a hands on lecture on ocean kiting and will practice safety stuff on land including cutting kite lines. Really important information and skills building. Don't miss out!
