The riding is nothing special but I got a chance to try this kite for the first time yesterday at the event site. Winds were pretty crappy with massive holes and gusts. I need to get some time in on this kite in better conditions before I can form an opinion on it. I'm used to riding Cabrinha FX's so I haven't quite figured out the timing for how this kite jumps yet, hence lots of crashing. Overall I was still impressed by how it did yesterday.

Cheers,
CJ

Yep I was using fireball. Its only my 2nd time out on it but I like it quite a bit. Significantly easier to ride toe side but still feels good when throwing rotations in the air.

Saturday I had my wife out body dragging a bit. She was using fireball as well and liked that the spreaderbar wasn't digging into her ribs the way a normal bar would.
