Eclipse Wave Kite....Kima

I got to fly the Eclipse Kima 9m at the LaVentana Kite Expo. The following is my personal opinion. I currently fly 2008 REV's.
WOW!!!!! Holly Shit Balls, if you get a chance to fly this kite you will know what I am talking about. I flew this kite two different times because I liked it so much. Both strapped and strapless. Very solid stable feeling kite. This kite is very responsive to rider input and has a quick pivot turn without loosing power. It seems that the harder you fly the kite the more responsive it becomes; it’s a kite that responds to your every input instantly, without any hesitation. If your into wave riding this is your ticket. Dont beleive me? Fly it, then you will.

Dimitri, Dale, and Mat, thanks for the hospitality and hooking me up with everything, you guys have a great product I cant wait to fly the Kima at my local wave spots

Thanks for the review

There are so many kites out there it is nice to get some objective reviews before getting a chance to demo some new stuff myself. Cant Demo them all on my schedule.
I hate it when guys just pimp their current ride when they review.
