Heck that's the best photo you got a Manzo...? I was out for hours in the south wind killin it up by the cliff side and you didn't get one riding shot... Hmmm..  o well. It was good when your the only one out and everyone else is sleeping in there cars... HA!
The swell outside the breakers were massive... There was two times I got to ride right foot forward on those mackers without getting pulled off... it was sweeeet! 
5'10 Dialer and the 12m Rally was the ticket for Sunday Manzo sess...

| When will the Rally be available to the masses? I flew this kite and loved it. What a good, smooth jumping kite. Great upwind ability and also going to be killer in the surf. Need to replace my 10m....

That blurry scan doesn't do justice to the beauty of the 2011 surfboards.

So what is the Rally? It looks like a delta design?

Its an OPEN Delta C. Different than traditional Delta C kite.
Fuel = C kite
RPM = OPEN C
RALLY = OPEN Delta C

That last shot is me trying to get my GoPRO cam on and drowning at the same time. It took the photo right when a nice swell was riding over my head... In super HD is looks crystal clear and even more .
The Rally won't replace the KEY HD.
Compstick Bar
FUEL
RPM
RALLY
KeyChain Bar
KEY HD
The KEY HD is a nice price point Kite/Board package that works from the first time buyer to the guy just needing a good deal on good gear. The Key will be a steady in-line product like our B2/B3/B4. It won't change much through the years just like those SS trainers you have seen for the past 10 years.

I took the Rally 8m out today, it's a really sweet kite!! The Rally seems to do everything pretty dang well, it boosts and loops great for a delta shape.
The auto pilot/relaunch is so good that we are teaching lessons on the Rally as well as taking it out in the flat water or waves for some off the clock action.
The Rally is everything that the Key kite should have been...

| Looks a lot like a North Fuse. Has anyone tried both kites? Similarities/differences?

Rippin preview Shymac!
A while back you said kite without pulleys were better for snow...why is that?
Also, who's the band on that track?

hey shy,
no pulley on the front lines right? do the front lines move a long the bridle at all or is it fixed? is that why the attachment point is farther up and in?
looks cool.
